“Be as decent as you can. Don't believe without evidence. Treat things divine with marked respect — don't have anything to do with them. Do not trust humanity without collateral security; it will play you some scurvy trick.

And, finally, most important of all, endeavor to see things as they are, not as they ought to be.” BelieveImportantPlayRememberHumanityHurtEnemySecurityDivineOughtTasteProveEvidenceTreatsDon't BelieveAffectionWorthyTricksTreatedDecentEndeavorEntitledIt HurtsDistastefulCollateral Book:The Collected Fables of Ambrose Bierce Source: The Collected Fables of Ambrose Bierce
