The House, Being Strong, Should Be Generous ... But The Constituents Have A Right To More Than Generosity.... The Law Gives Me My Seat. In The Name Of The Law I Ask For It.

Atheist, Without God, I Look To Humankind For Sympathy, For Love, For Hope, For Effort, For Aid.

The Bible God I Deny; The Christian God I Disbelieve In; But I Am Not Rash Enough To Say There Is No God As Long As You Tell Me You Are Unprepared To Define God To Me.
