More From Moses Mendelssohn
- "Revealed religion is one thing, revealed legislation, another."
- "Instead, it appears to be a particular mark of beauty that it is considered with tranquil satisfaction; that it pleases if we also do not possess it and we are still far removed from demanding to possess it."
- "I fear that, in the end, the famous debate among materialists, idealists, and dualists amounts to a merely verbal dispute that is more a matter for the linguist than for the speculative philosopher."

The president identified three key strategies to build that lasting prosperity: innovation, investment, and education."― Tom Vilsack
- "The biological evolutionary perception of life and of human qualities is radically different from that of traditional religion, whether it’s Southern Baptist or Islam or any religion that believes in a supernatural supervalance over humanity."― E. O. Wilson
- "I fear it’s because religion is man’s attempt to reach God, and when he feels he has succeeded, he cannot abide anyone else’s claim to have done the same."― Jerry B. Jenkins
