Quote by Charles Apoki

“One problem with the black man is too much emphasis on the miraculous, which indicates to them that they can circumvent principles, practices, philosophies, processes, procedures, and planning to achieve greatness. There is nothing more delusionary than that. The miraculous is a circumstantial intervention of divinity in the affairs of humanity. That Jesus multiplied bread and fish did not prevent men and women from opening bakeries and fishing the next day. The black man would have started a "Fish and Bread Multiplication" ministry. This kind of mindset makes religion an assassin of the intellect and creates a bunch of irresponsible citizenry that outsources their problems to God, when He expects them to use their brains. Problems that can be solved with our minds are outsourced to God in prayers.”

“Ведьмак какое-то время глядел ему вслед, потом сел на Плотву. Молча. И не оглядываясь. – Старею, видать, – буркнул он немного погодя, когда Плотва поравнялась с вороным конем Мильвы. – Принципы наружу вылезли. – У стариков это бывает. – Лучница с сочувствием глянула на него. – И часто вылезают? Отвар из медуницы, говорят, помогает. И вправлять надо. А пока – клади себе подушечку под зад.”
