You are like the spring in the watch, and it is not necessary that all watches have the same kind of a spring, and it is not necessary that we all have the same religion. And why should we quarrel If we all had the same ideas the world would be dead. External motion we call action; internal motion is human thought. The stone falls to the earth.
