Make People Happy And There Will Not

I Will Work In My Own Way, According To The Light That Is In Me.

I Keep Working Because I Am Quite Sure That No Particle Of Goodness Or Truth Is Ever Really Lost, However Appearances May Be To The Contrary.

The Existence Of Very Pious Feelings, In Conjunction With Intolerance, Cruelty, And Selfish Policy, Has Never Ceased To Surprise And Perplex Those Who Have Viewed It Calmly From A Distance. ... It Is Impossible To Exaggerate The Evil Work Theology Has Done In The World. What Destruction Of The Beautiful Monuments Of Past Ages, What Waste Of Life, What Disturbance Of Domestic And Social Happiness, What Perverted Feelings, What Blighted Hearts, Have Always Marked Its Baneful Progress!

It Is A Selfish View Of God's Government Of The World, And It Is Time That We Knew Enough To Outgrow It.
