Liberty's Chief Foe Is Theology.

The Abuse Dies In A Day; But The Denial Slays The Life Of The People And Entombs The Hope Of The Race.

The Ameliorating March Of The Last Few Centuries Has Been Initiated By The Heretics Of Each Age, Though I Concede That The Men And Women Denounced And Persecuted As Infidels By The Pious Of One Century Are Frequently Claimed As Saints By The Pious Of A Later Generation.

Without Free Speech No Search For Truth Is Possible; Without Free Speech No Discovery Of Truth Is Useful; Without Free Speech Progress Is Checked, And The Nations No Longer March Forward Towards The Nobler Life Which The Future Holds For Man. Better A Thousandfold Abuse Of Free Speech Than Denial Of Free Speech. The Abuse Dies In A Day; But The Denial Stays The Life Of The People And Entombs The Hope Of The Race.

The Word Heretic Ought To Be A Term Of Honour.

Is It Not Gain To Have Diminished The Faith That It Was The Duty Of The Wretched And The Miserable To Be Content With The Lot In Life Which Providence Had Awarded Them?
