Our rights do not come from our laws. Our rights do not come from our leaders. Our rights come from God.

And it is also what drives our curiosity to understand the universe.

You could sit down and make yourself easy now. He would take the ax and convert the rest of the nation himself.

They alone live whose lives are in the whole universe, and the more we concentrate our lives on limited things, the faster we go towards death. Those moments alone we live when our lives are in the universe, in others; and living this little life is death, simply death, and that is why the fear of death comes.
