QUOTES, on: God and peace, face of Nature, admitting you're wrong, hypocrisy, more

(I will not slam anyone for religion, but hypocrisy is not a religion, and the religion that hypocrites use is but an excuse. Nor will I attack anyone on a lack of religion. It's not my business as long as my beliefs are respected in return. That said, the first quote does deride atheist. I include it because the rest is comparing atheist to hypocrites, with hypocrites coming out worst. Who can a hypocrite hate and judge more than an atheist - maybe to the same degree, but not more. Thus the comparison is very useful when pointing this out to a hypocrite - its like saying, "you think atheists are bad, well look at yourself", and it is part of the quote, so I'm using it, but adding this disclaimer too.)
HYPOCRISY: An atheist is but a mad, ridiculous derider of piety; but a hypocrite makes a sober jest of God and religion; he finds it easier to be upon his knees than to rise to good action. - Pope [as in the surname, not the catholic leader]
THE PEACE OF GOD: Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. Herein lies the peace of God. - unknown {by me anyhow - I did know, I think, but I forgot who said it}
THE FACE OF NATURE: The ignorant man gazeth upon the face of Nature, and it is to him darkness of darkness. But the initiated and illumined man gazeth thereon and seeth the features of God. - W.E. Butler
MOTIVES: We should often be ashamed of our very best actions, if only the world saw the motives which caused them. - La Rouchefoucauld
BALANCE: Run, if you like, but try to keep your breath; Work like a man, but don't be worked to death. - Holmes
THE NOBLE FEMALE: God often enshrines gallant and noble hearts in weak bosoms - oftenest, God bless her! In female breasts. - Dickens
ADMITTING YOU'RE WRONG: A man should never be ashamed to own he has been in the wrong, which is but saying, in other words, that he is wiser today than he was yesterday. - Unknown
ALWAYS BEING RIGHT: None but a fool is always right. - Hare
THE IGNORANT: The greatest of fools is he who imposes on himself, and in his greatest concern thinks certainly he knows that which he has least studied, and of which he is most profoundly ignorant. - Shaftesbury
