Man is a Religious Animal. He ...

Man is a Religious Animal. He is the only Religious Animal. He is the only animal that has the True Religion--several of them. He is the only animal that loves his neighbor as himself and cuts his throat if his theology isn't straight. He has made a graveyard of the globe in trying his honest best to smooth his brother's path to happiness and heaven....The higher animals have no religion. And we are told that they are going to be left out in the Hereafter. I wonder why? It seems questionable taste.

There is no such thing as material covetousness. All covetousness is spiritual. ...Any so-called material thing that you want is merely a symbol: you want it not for itself, but because it will content your spirit for the moment.

I cannot call to mind a single instance where I have ever been irreverent, except toward the things which were sacred to other people.

I can teach anybody how to get what they want out of life. The problem is that I can't find anybody who can tell me what they want.

Will a day come when the race will detect the funniness of these juvenilities and laugh at themЂ'and by laughing at them destroy them? For your race, in its poverty, has unquestionably one really effective weaponЂ'laughter. Power, Money, Persuasion, Supplication, Persecution--these can lift at a colossal humbug,Ђ'push it a littleЂ' crowd it a littleЂ'weaken it a little, century by century: but only Laughter can blow it to rags and atoms at a blast. Against the assault of Laughter nothing can stand. - 'The Chronicl

I was born lazy. I am no lazier now than I was forty years ago, but that is because I reached the limit forty years ago. You can't go beyond possibility.
