280. Miracles

No one, in the world's whole history, ever attempted to substantiate a

truth by a miracle. Truth scorns the assistance of miracle. Nothing but

performed, and no sane man ever thought he had performed one, and until

one is performed, there can be no evidence of the existence of any power

superior to, and independent of nature.
