The Word Heretic Ought To Be A

A Mere Society Form Of Atheism.

[that] My Body Be Buried As Cheaply As Possible And No Speeches Be Permitted At My Funeral.

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. I Regret That My Personality Overshadows The Principles Involved In This Great Struggle; But I Would Ask Those Who Have Touched My Life, Not Knowing It, Who Have Found For Me Vices Which I Do Not Remember In The Memory Of My Life, I Would Ask Them Whether All Can Afford To Cast The First Stone ... Then That, As Best Judges, They Will Vacate Their Own Seats, Having Deprived My Constituents Of Their Right Here To Mine.

Atheists Would Teach Men To Be Moral Now, Not Because God Offers As An Inducement Reward By And By, But Because In The Virtuous Act Itself Immediate Good Is Insured To The Doer And The Circle Surrounding Him.

Liberty's Chief Foe Is Theology.
