FAITH, n. Belief without evidence in what is told by one who speaks without knowledge, of things without parallel.
RELIGION, n. A daughter of Hope and Fear, explaining to Ignorance the nature of the Unknowable.
HOPE, n. Desire and expectation rolled into one.
LIFE, n. A spiritual pickle preserving the body from decay. We live in daily apprehension of its loss; yet when lost it is not missed.

EXTINCTION, n. The raw material out of which theology created the future state.
(From The Devil's Dictionary, 1906)
