“To attain success, you must learn to conquer fear, for it is often just an illusion. Learn to ignore fear and do not let it control you. Face it with calmness and discipline. Recognize that true strength originates from self-control. By doing so, you build resilience and move closer to your purpose.”

“Many religions now come before us with ingratiating smirks and outspread hands, like an unctuous merchant in a bazaar. They offer consolation and solidarity and uplift, competing as they do in a marketplace. But we have a right to remember how barbarically they behaved when they were strong and were making an offer that people could not refuse. And if we chance to forget what that must have been like, we have only to look at those states and societies where the clergy still has the power to dictate its own terms. The pathetic vestiges of this can still be seen, in modern societies, in the efforts made by religion to secure control over education, or to exempt itself from tax, or to pass laws forbidding people to insult its omnipotent and omniscient deity, or even his prophet.”

Suddenly, it is all so clear.”
