Love is but a song we sing! Fear’s the way we die. You can make the mountains ring, Or make the angels cry. Though the bird is on the wing, And you may not know why, Come on people now, smile on your brother! Everybody get together, Try to love one another right now. Some... Read More

“Of publishing a book on religion, my dear sir, I never had an idea. I should as soon think of writing for the reformation of Bedlam, as of the world of religious sects. Of these there must be, at least, ten thousand, every individual of every one of which believes all wrong but his own.”... Read More
