"When law and morality contradict each other, the citizen has the cruel alternative of either losing his sense of morality of losing his respect of the law."

Just to diversify the selection here:

I have recently been examining all the known superstitions of the world, and do not find in our particular superstition [Christianity] one redeeming feature. They are all alike, founded upon fables and mythologies.

Man is the religious animal. He is the only religious animal. He is the only animal that has the True Religion – several of them. He is the only animal that loves his neighbor as himself and cuts his throat, if his theology isn’t straight. He has made a graveyard of the globe in trying his honest best to smooth his brother’s path to happiness and heaven.

IIRC, later he says something along the lines of "Man is the only animal that blushes, or needs to."

Religious controversies are always productive of more acrimony and irreconcilable hatreds than those which spring from any other cause.

"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State."
-- Joesph Goebbels

Are you really quoting Ricky Bobby's daddy?

 

[spirit390]

I don't know who said it or if this is the way they said it but it goes something like

"Laws are to protect you from other people so there should be no laws made to try to protect you from yourself"
