All outward forms of religion are almost useless and are the causes of endless strife. Believe there is a great power silently working all things for good behave yourself and never mind the rest.

We should keep silent about those in power to speak well of them almost implies flattery to speak ill of them while they are alive is dangerous and when they are dead is cowardly.
