- Full quote, from the on-line Bartlett's at info.rutgers.edu:

- (Life of Reason, vol 1 ch 12)
-
- My personal favorite:
-
- "In nature there are neither rewards nor punishments - there are
- consequences."
- Robert Ingersoll (Lectures and Essays, 3d Series, Some Reasons Why, iii)
-
- How about some Twain quotations?
