"Godlessness invariably produces vulgarity. Civilization is the product of belief."

There is often no material difference between the enjoyment of the highest ranks and those of the rudest stages of society. If the life of many a young English nobleman, and an Iroquois in the forest, or an Arab in the desert are compared, it will be found that their real sources of happiness are nearly the same.

— Sir Archibald Alison, 2nd Baronet
