This spirit of freedom is expanding even where it must struggle against the external obstacles of governments that misunderstand their own function.

If only they refrain from inventing artifices to keep themselves in it, men will gradually raise themselves from barbarism.

...as soon as we examine suicide from the standpoint of religion we immediately see it in its true light. We have been placed in this world under certain conditions and for specific purposes. But a suicide opposes the purpose of his creator; he arrives in the other world as one who has deserted his post; he must be looked upon as a rebel against God. God is our owner; we are his property; his providence works for our good.
