“The most formidable weapon against errors of every kind is reason.” — Thomas Paine

It is not a field of a few acres of ground, but a cause, that we are defending, and whether we defeat the enemy in one battle, or by degrees, the consequences will be the same.

We can only reason from what is; we can reason on actualities, but not on possibilities.

The Vatican is a dagger in the heart of Italy.

My mind is my own church.
