My creed is that: Happiness is the only good. The place to be happy is here. The time to be happy is now. The way to be happy is to make others so.

Hope is the only universal liar who never loses his reputation for veracity.

In the night of death, hope sees a star, and listening love can hear the rustle of a wing.

Hope is the only bee that makes honey without flowers.

What light is to the eyes - what air is to the lungs - what love is to the heart, liberty is to the soul of man.

I will not attack your doctrines nor your creeds if they accord liberty to me. If they hold thought to be dangerous - if they aver that doubt is a crime, then I attack them one and all, because they enslave the minds of men.

We need men with moral courage to speak and write their real thoughts, and to stand by their convictions, even to the very death.

Hope is the only bee that makes honey without flowers.

In nature there are neither rewards nor punishments there are consequences.

Religion can never reform mankind because religion is slavery.
