“I love to read the dedications of old books written in monarchies for they invariably honor some (usually insignificant) knight or duke with fulsome words of sycophantic insincerity, praising him as the light of the universe (in hopes, no doubt, for a few ducats to support future work); this old practice makes me feel like such an honest and upright man, by comparison, when I put a positive spin, perhaps ever so slightly exaggerated, on a grant proposal.” MenFeelsBookLightUniversePracticeSupportDoubtWrittenHonestHonorPraiseNo DoubtComparisonGrantsDedicationInsignificantProposalKnightsMonarchyExaggeratedDukesLove To ReadOld BooksInsincerityUpright ManFuture Work Author:Stephen Jay Gould

“People in general know not what wickedness there is in this pretended word of God. Brought up in habits of superstition, they take it for granted that the Bible is true, and that it is good; they permit themselves not to doubt of it, and they carry the ideas they form of the benevolence of the Almighty to the book which they have been taught to believe was written by his authority.

“Who can doubt that God created us to be happy, and thereto made us to love one another? It is plainly written as Gospel. The heart is sometimes so embittered that nothing but Divine love can sweeten it, so enraged that devotion can only becalm it, and so broken down that it takes all the forces of heavenly hope to raise it. In short, the religion of Jesus Christ is the only sure and controlling power over sin.” HeartMadeSometimesJesusForceChristSinDoubtWrittenDivineBrokenJesus ChristRaisesDevotionHeavenlyDivine LoveLove One AnotherBroken DownControlling Power Author:Francis Marion

“I tried to eliminate the need for Israel to strike out, militarily, by removing its major threat and attacker, and that was Egypt. I've written a few books on the subject.
