Quote by Ludvig Holberg

“Hvis jeg troer uden Beviis, kand jeg henfalde saavel til en falsk, som til en sand Troe: Og hvis jeg antager en Lærdom, som strider imod Sandserne, siger jeg, at Fornuften, som er GUds store Gave, er mig til ingen Nytte.”

“...faith must recognize the autonomy of reason and its ability to produce a rational, secular ethics. By the same criterion, reason must accept that it is legitimate for the heart, consciousness and faith to believe in an order and ends thar exist prior to its observation, discoveries and hypotheses. Once the distinction between the realms of faith and reason, and religion and science, has been accepted, it is therefore futile to debate, and still less to dispute, the hierarchy of first truths or the nature of the authority granted to their methods and their references.”

“People of great faith are almost always lacking in reason, while people possessed of great reason often suffer from a pitiful lack of faith. So it always happens that people of great faith can move the world but cannot steer it, while people possessed of great reason excel at steering the world but are hopeless at moving it”
