"PRESIDENCY, n. The greased pig in the field game of American politics." "PRESIDENT, n. The leading figure in a small group of men of whom — and of whom only — it is positively known that immense numbers of their countrymen did not want any of them for President." "A grave is a place where the dead are laid to await the coming of the medical student." "Speak when you are angry and you will make the best speech you will ever regret." Top 5 quotes from Anti-Religion "I do not believe in the creed professed by the Jewish church, by the Roman church, by the Greek church, by the Turkish church, by the Protestant church, nor by any church that I know of. My own mind is my own church." "Where knowledge ends, religion begins." "Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet." "What a man believes upon grossly insufficient evidence is an index into his desires -- desires of which he himself is often unconscious. If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way." "With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion."
