“All sects are different, because they come from men; morality is everywhere the
same, because it comes from God.”
"Every man is guilty of the good he didn't do."
“It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill
in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets.”
“It is dangerous to be right when the government is wrong.”
"If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him."
