God Is Another Name For Human Intelligence

Did Any Man At His Death Ever Regret His Conflicts With Himself, His Victories Over Appetite, His Scorn Of Impure Pleasure, Or His Sufferings For Righteousness' Sake?

All Noble Enthusiasms Pass Through A Feverish Stage, And Grow Wiser And More Serene

God Is Another Name For Human Intelligence Raised Above All Error And Imperfection, And Extended To All Possible Truth.

To Extinguish The Free Will Is To Strike The Conscience With Death, For Both Have But One And The Same Life.

A General Loftiness Of Sentiment, Independence Of Men, Consciousness Of Good Intentions, Self-oblivion In Great Objects, Clear Views Of Futurity; Thoughts Of The Blessed Companionship Of Saints And Angels, Trust In God As The Friend Of Truth And Virtue,--these Are The States Of Mind In Which I Should Live.
