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?

There Can Be No Wise Politics Without Thought Beforehand.

If My Interlocutor Desires To Convince Me That Jupiter Has Inhabitants, And That His Description Of Them Is Accurate, It Is For Him To Bring Forward Evidence In Support Of His Contention. The Burden Of Proof Evidently Lies On Him; It Is Not For Me To Prove That No Such Beings Exist Before My Non-belief Is Justified, But For Him To Prove That They Do Exist Before My Belief Can Be Fairly Claimed. Similarly, It Is For The Affirmer Of God's Existence To Bring Evidence In Support Of His Affirmation; The Burden Of Proof Lies On Him.

Refusal To Believe Until Proof Is Given Is A Rational Position; Denial Of All Outside Of Our Own Limited Experience Is Absurd.

I Have Ever Been The Queerest Mixture Of Weakness And Strength, And Have Paid Heavily For The Weakness.
