No One Could Ever Meet Death For

They Condemn What They Do Not Understand.

If I Am Mistaken In My Opinion That The Human Soul Is Immortal, I Willingly Err; Nor Would I Have This Pleasant Error Extorted From Me; And If, As Some Minute Philosophers Suppose, Death Should Deprive Me Of My Being, I Need Not Fear The Raillery Of Those Pretended Philosophers When They Are No More.

There Is In Superstition A Senseless Fear Of God; Religion Consists In The Pious Worship Of Him.

To Be Ignorant Of What Occurred Before You Were Born Is To Remain Always A Child. For What Is The Worth Of Human Life, Unless It Is Woven Into The Life Of Our Ancestors By The Records Of History?

The Judgment Of Posterity Is Truer, Because It Is Free From Envy And Malevolence.
