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.
If nature has blessed you with superior ability and you do not use it to
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.
The wise man produces good thoughts direct from nature; the learned man
acquires them afterward.
