If You Want To Lose Your Faith,

Would A Conscious Human Being Destroy Himself Through War, And Crime, And Quarrels? No, A Man Simply Knows Not What He Does To Himself.

If You Want To Lose Your Faith, Make Friends With A Priest.

Conscious Faith Is Freedom. Emotional Faith Is Slavery. Mechanical Faith Is Foolishness.

I Ask You To Believe Nothing That You Cannot Verify For Yourself.

The Crowd Neither Wants Nor Seeks Knowledge, And The Leaders Of The Crowd, In Their Own Interests, Try To Strengthen Its Fear And Dislike Of Everything New And Unknown. The Slavery In Which Mankind Lives Is Based Upon This Fear.
