Josh Billings

He who has not been at a tavern knows not what a paradise it is. O holy tavern! O miraculous tavern! - holy, because no carking cares are there, nor weariness, nor pain; and miraculous, because of the spits, which themselves turn round and round!

Thomas Jefferson

Deism, historically, produces atheism. First you make God a landlord, then an absent landlord, then he becomes simply absent.
