Better Remain Silent, Better Not Even Think,

When We Recognise That Unity Of All Living Things, Then At Once Arises The Question - How Can We Support This Life Of Ours With Least Injury To The Lives Around Us; How Can We Prevent Our Own Life Adding To The Suffering Of The World In Which We Live?

If We Believe In A God At All, We Must Surely Ascribe To Him Perfection Of Wisdom And Perfection Of Goodness; We Are Then Forced To Conceive Of Him - However Strange It May Sound To Those Who Believe, Not Only Without Seeing But Also Without Thinking - As Without Will, Because He Must Always Necessarily Pursue The Course Which Is Wisest And Best.

Empty-brained Triflers Who Have Never Tried To Think, Who Take Their Creed As They Take Their Fashions, Speak Of Atheism As The Outcome Of Foul Life And Vicious Desires.
