Andrew Dickson White Quotes
His [Turgot's] First Important Literary And Scholastic Effort Was A Treatise On The Existence Of God. Few Fragments Of It Remain, But We Are Helped To Understand Him When We Learn That He Asserted, And To The End Of His Life Maintained, His Belief In An Almighty Creator And Upholder Of The Universe. It Did, Indeed, At A Later Period Suit The Purposes Of His Enemies, Exasperated By His Tolerant Spirit And His Reforming Plans, To Proclaim Him An Atheist; But That Sort Of Charge Has Been The Commonest Of Missiles Against Troublesome Thinkers In All Times.
