A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith

Summary

The quote emphasizes the need for additional evidence or rationality to support one's beliefs or claims, rather than solely relying on faith as a basis for validation.

The profession of a prostitute is the only career in which the maximum income is paid to the newest apprentice. It is the one calling in which at the beginning the only exertion is that of self-indulgence; all the prizes are at the commencement.
