"Born Again"


Point out the defects of him who is present; praise the good qualities
of him who is absent.
Those who ride upon the backs of others must in turn carry others upon
their own backs.
The Bible not only proves its own absurdities, but any others that the
human mind can conceive.
Parents should mould their children's character before they are born, by
their own thoughts and actions.
Your ancestors are responsible for the weaknesses you inherit, but you
are responsible for non-improvement.
Marrying for money or position without mutual love is but one way to
breed and preserve the germs of prostitution.
It is not only the selfishness of the strong that robs the weak, but
also the selfishness of the weak that keeps them so.

benefit mankind, then you have betrayed nature's trust.
The laborer furnishes the capitalist with money, houses, clothes,
eatables, service and then the weapons and power to keep him enslaved.
If you have not improved your condition physically, mentally and morally
over that of your parents, your life has been a failure.
Religion is a great cudgel held threateningly by the strong over the
heads of the weak to keep them in a state of ignorance and slavery.
If the soul were born with the body, then it must die with it; but if
the soul live afterward, then it must have lived before the body was
born.
The learned man is sometimes wise; the wise man is not always learned.
