"I am not going to question your opinions. I am not going to meddle with
your belief. I am not going to dictate to you mine. All that I say is,
examine, inquire. Look into the nature of things. Search out the grounds of
your opinions, the for and the against. Know why you believe, understand
what you believe, and possess a reason for the faith that is in you."
