"My Attainment of the Pole"
Frederick A. Cook
This Plea for Atheism is put forth as a challenge to Theists to do battle for their cause, and in the hope that, the strugglers being sincere, truth may give laurels to the victor and the vanquished: laurels to the victor, in that he has upheld the truth; laurels which should be even more welcome to the vanquished, whose defeat crowns him with a truth he knew not of before.
"Theological Essays"
Charles Bradlaugh
I will guide their feet into the right path, and the thanks of many earnest strugglers shall be my real recompense.
"Under the Skylights"
Henry Blake Fuller
