"The mind is the attribute of man. When man is born, he comes into existence with only one weapon with him--The reasoning mind."

Previous Quote

Mankind, transmitting from generation to generation the legacy of accumulated vengeances, and pursuing with the feelings of duty the misery of their fellow-beings, have not failed to attribute to the Universal Cause a character analogous with their own. The image of this invisible, mysterious Being is more or less excellent and perfect — resembles more or less its original — in proportion to the perfection of the mind on which it is impressed.

— Percy Bysshe Shelley
