Religion has nothing more to fear than not being sufficiently understood.

Science is paramount, but presents no challenge to a creed that rests on faith-based belief.

As regards burials in consecrated ground, no question can now be raised affecting the powers of the Catholic Church authorities.

Innocence has nothing to dread.

There is no heresy or no philosophy which is so abhorrent to the church as a human being.

Nobody will be afraid who believes nothing can happen to him.

I see no good reason why the views given in this volume should shock the religious feelings of any one.

Truth is not altered by belief or disbelief.

Even as a solid rock is unshaken by the wind, so are the wise unshaken by praise or blame.

There is no conflict between science and religion.

Truth never damages a cause that is just.

They (the government) are unfazed by any amount of travesty, loss, tragedy, death, and destruction.

No culture in human history ever suffered because its people became too reasonable or too desirous of having evidence in defense of their core beliefs.

On close inspection, we shall find that religion, and not fear, has ever been the cause of the long-lived prosperity of an absolute government.
