… it is better that mankind should become atheist by following reason than blindly believe in two hundred millions of gods on the authority of anybody.
What we want is progress, development, realisation.
No theories ever made men higher.
No amount of books can help us to become purer.
The only power is in realisation, and that lies in ourselves and comes from thinking. Let men think.
A clod of earth never thinks; but it remains only a lump of earth.
The glory of man is that he is a thinking being. It is the nature of man to think and therein he differs from animals.
