If God had wanted me otherwise, He would have created me otherwise. - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

When you see some evil you proceed to immediate action, you make an immediate attack to cure the symptom.

When I consider the narrow limits within which our active and inquiring faculties are confined; when I see how all our energies are wasted in providing for mere necessities, which again have no further end than to prolong a wretched existence; and then that all our satisfaction concerning certain subjects of investigation ends in nothing better than a passive resignation... when I consider all this... I am silent.

A thinking man's greatest happiness is to have fathomed what can be fathomed and to revere in silence what cannot be fathomed.
