Heredity Is Nothing But Stored Environment.

The Time Has Come For Honest Men To Denounce False Teachers And Attack False Gods.

Let Us Read The Bible Without The Ill-fitting Colored Spectacles Of Theology, Just As We Read Other Books, Using Our Judgment And Reason. . . .

I Have Seen Myself Lose Intolerance, Narrowness, Bigotry, Complacence, Pride And A Whole Bushel-basket Of Other Intellectual Vices Through My Contact With Nature And With Men. And When You Take Weeds Out Of A Garden It Gives You Room To Grow Flowers. So, Every Time I Lost A Little Self-satisfaction, Or Arrogance, I Could Plant Some Broadness Or Love Of My Own In Its Place, And After A While The Garden Of My Mind Began To Bloom And Be Fragrant And I Found Myself Better Equipped For My Work And More Useful To Others As A Consequence.

Do Not Feed Children On A Maudlin Sentimentalism Or Dogmatic Religion; Give Them Nature. Let Their Souls Drink In All That Is Pure And Sweet. Rear Them, If Possible, Amid Pleasant Surroundings ... Let Nature Teach Them The Lessons Of Good And Proper Living, Combined With An Abundance Of Well-balanced Nourishment. Those Children Will Grow To Be The Best Men And Women. Put The Best In Them By Contact With The Best Outside. They Will Absorb It As A Plant Absorbs The Sunshine And The Dew.
