Ernst Haeckel

The first task is to kindle a rational interest in our youth, and to uplift our citizens and free them from superstition.

No one can lead a happy life, or even one that is bearable, without the pursuit of wisdom.

Schofield

Epictetus

Since it is reason which sets in order and finishes all other things, it ought not itself to be left in disorder.

Malthus

Evil exists in the world not to create despair but activity.

Livius

Of late years wealth has made us greedy, and self-indulgence has brought us, through every form of sensual excess, to be, if I may so put it, in love with death both individual and collective.
