"The moral duty of man consists in imitating the moral
goodness and beneficence of God manifested in the creation toward all his creatures. That seeing, as we daily do, the goodness of God to all men, it is an example calling upon all men to practice the same toward each other."

existence. I content myself with believing, even to positive

"Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind."
