Lemuel K. Washburn’s Freethought Commands (1911)
- Say nothing about others that you would not have others say about you.
- Be severe toward yourself; be kind to your fellow-man.
- Do not give advice that you cannot follow.
- Do not thank God for what man does.
- Serve neither God nor Mammon, but humanity alone.
- Do not try to be perfect as a “Father in heaven,” but try to be better than you yourself are.
- Seek first to improve the earth, and heaven will be of less consequence.
