"Men would never be superstitious, if they could……" — Baruch Spinoza

"Men would never be superstitious, if they could govern all their circumstancesby set rules, or if they were always favoured by fortune: but being frequently driven into straits where rules are useless, and being often kept fluctuating pitiably between hope and fear by the uncertainty of fortune's greedily coveted favours, theyare consequently for the mostpart, very prone to credulity."
