So it is more useful to watch a man in times of peril, and in adversity to discern what kind of man he is; for then at last words of truth are drawn from the depths of his heart, and the mask is torn off, reality remains.
Such are the heights of wickedness to which men are driven by religion.
The sum of all sums is eternity.
In the midst of the fountain of wit there arises something bitter, which stings in the very flowers.
So potent was religion in persuading to evil deeds.
Life is one long struggle in the dark.
