Philosophical Thought for the Day

Today's quote comes courtesy of one of the leading lights of the Enlightenment, Francois-Marie Arouet, better known as Voltaire:

"Anyone who has the power to make you believe absurdities
has the power to make you commit injustices.
In the midst of all the doubts which we have discussed
for 4000 years in 4000 ways,
the safest course is to do nothing against one's conscience.
With this secret, we can enjoy life
and have no fear of death."
