Such Is My Veneration For Every Religion

Without Religion, I Believe That Learning Does Real Mischief To The Morals And Principles Of Mankind.

Were I Disposed To Consider The Comparative Merit Of Each Of Them [facts Or Theories In Medical Practice], I Should Derive Most Of The Evils Of Medicine From Supposed Facts, And Ascribe All The Remedies Which Have Been Uniformly And Extensively Useful, To Such Theories As Are True. Facts Are Combined And Rendered Useful Only By Means Of Theories, And The More Disposed Men Are To Reason, The More Minute And Extensive They Become In Their Observations

If Moral Precepts Alone Could Have Reformed Mankind, The Mission Of The Son Of God Into All The World Would Have Been Unnecessary. The Perfect Morality Of The Gospel Rests Upon The Doctrine Which, Though Often Controverted Has Never Been Refuted: I Mean The Vicarious Life And Death Of The Son Of God.

The Gospel Of Jesus Christ Prescribes The Wisest Rules For Just Conduct In Every Situation In Life. Happy They Who Are Enabled To Obey Them In All Situations!

Mirth, And Even Cheerfulness, When Employed As Remedies In Low Spirits, Are Like Hot Water To A Frozen Limb.
