To an atheist all writings tend to atheism: he corrupts the most innocent matter with his own venom.

Wickedness sucks in the greater part of its own venom and poisons itself therewith

The more hidden the venom, the more dangerous it is.

Satiety comes of too frequent repetition; and he who will not give himself leisure to be thirsty can never find the true pleasure of drinking

Nothing is so firmly believed as that which is least known

The value of life lies not in the length of days, but in the use we make of them... Whether you find satisfaction in life depends not on your tale of years, but on your will.
