“If I find someone credited with one virtue from among many virtues, I will
accept him in my fold and I will forgive his lack of other virtues but I
shall never forgive the lack of wisdom and faith because want of faith
(religion) is want of peace (and security). Without doubt, life in fear is
unpleasant and lack of wisdom is equivalent to lack of life itself and a
person devoid of wisdom cannot be conceived except as a dead body.”
