THE VOICE OF REASON Solon, (born c. 630 BCE—died c. 560 BCE), Athenian statesman, known as one of the Seven Wise Men of Greece (the others were Chilon of Sparta, Thales of Miletus, Bias of Priene, Cleobulus of Lindos, Pittacus of Mytilene, and Periander of Corinth). Solon ended exclusive aristocratic control of the government, substituted a system of control by the wealthy, and introduced a new and more humane law code. He was also a noted poet.
"God does not need to actually exist to make the world a better place, but the fact that more people than not believe in His existence and obey the Koranic version of His commandments would tend to make this world a better place. After all, God is cheaper and less intrusive than CCTV."
