Do Not Feed Children On Maudlin Sentimentalism Or Dogmatic Religion; Give Them Nature... Do Not Terrify Them In Early Life With The Fear Of An After-world. Never Was A Child Made More Noble And Good By The Fear Of A Hell.

Although I Went To College As A Youth, I Never Considered It Necessary To Steep Oneself In Academic Learning, In Order To Learn How To Think. I Welcome A Fair And Square, Open And Above-board Fight On Any Subject, Including This, But I Despise A Man Who Sneaks Around Under A Cloak Or Cover Of Any Society Or Clique To Strike His Blows.
