There Is No Death,/what Seems So Is

When One Loves God Better Than The Church Is One Called A Heretic?

Hate Is A Grand, A Strong Quality! It Makes Nations, It Builds Up Creeds! If Men Loved One Another What Should They Need Of A Church?

There Is Nothing So Depressing As A Constant Contemplation Of One's Self, And The Greatest Moral Cowardice In The World's Opinion Comes From Consulting One's Own Personal Convenience.

And Out Of Heart's Pain Comes Heart's Peace; And Out Of Desire, Accomplishment.

There Is Nothing So Inconvenient In This World As An Absolutely Truthful Person, Who Can Both Speak And Write, And Has The Courage Of His Convictions. One Can Always Arrange Matters With Liars ... But With The Man Or Woman Who Holds Truth Dearer Than Life, And Honor More Valuable Than Advancement, There Is Nothing To Be Done, Now That Governments Cannot Insist On The Hemlock-cure, As In The Case Of Socrates.
