If christian nations therefore were nations of christians, all war would be impossible and unknown among them. - Soame Jenyns

We are unable to give life, and therefore ought not wantonly to take it away from the meanest insect, without sufficient reason; they all receive it from the same benevolent hand as ourselves, and have therefore an equal right to enjoy it.

Great men whilst living must expect disgraces,
Dead they're ador'd—when none desire their places.
