Richard Francis Burton

“Do what thy manhood bids thee do, from none but self expect applause; He who nobly fails, at least has failed as dauntless men are wont to do.”

“The more I study religions the more I am convinced that man never worshipped anything but himself.”

“All faith is false, all faith is true: Truth is the shattered mirror strown in myriad bits; while each believes his little bit the whole to own.”
