On this magnificent day when freedom rings across the plains, I wandered around in Emerson's Wikiquote page, directed there by Samuel Adams:
- When a whole nation is roaring Patriotism at the top of its voice, I am fain to explore the cleanness of its hands and purity of its heart.
- The Religion that is afraid of science dishonours God and commits suicide. It acknowledges that it is not equal to the whole of truth, that it legislates, tyrannizes over a village of God's empires but is not the immutable universal law. Every influx of atheism, of skepticism is thus made useful as a mercury pill assaulting and removing a diseased religion and making way for truth.
- A sect or party is an elegant incognito devised to save a man from the vexation of thinking.
And, Men are what their mothers made them.
