“It is a curious paradox that precisely in proportion to our own intellectual weakness will be our credulity, to those mysterious powers assumed by others; and in those regions of darkness and ignorance where man cannot effect even those things that are within the power of man, there we shall ever find that a blind belief in feats that are far beyond those powers has taken the deepest root in the minds of the deceived, and produced the richest harvest to the knavery of the deceiver.” MenMindBeliefDarknessTakenEffectsIgnoranceIntellectualWeaknessRootsBlindMysteriousCuriousProportionRegionsParadoxHarvestDeceivedFeatsCredulityDeceiverKnaveryBlind Belief Book:Lacon: Or Many Things in Few Words, Addressed to Those who Think Source: Lacon: Or Many Things in Few Words, Addressed to Those who Think
“All the ideals and beliefs you ever had have crashed about your gun-deafened ears - you don't believe in God or them or the infallibility of England or anything but bloody war and wounds and foul smells and smutty stories and smoke and bombs and lice and filth and noise, noise, noise - you live in a world of cold sick fear, a dirty world of darkness and despair - you want to crawl ignominiously home away from these painful writhing things that once were men, these shattered, tortured faces that dumbly demand what it's all about in Christ's name.” MenWorldWantBelieveWarStoriesHomeFacesNamesBeliefChristDarknessColdDemandDespairGunIdealsEarsSickEnglandDon't BelievePainfulSmellWoundsNoiseSmokeDirtyBombsBelieve In GodBloodyFoulShatteredFilthInfallibilityLiceDirty World Author:Evadne Price

“The darkness that we see in our world today is due to the disintegration of things out of harmony with God's laws. The basic conflict is not between nations, it is between two opposing beliefs. The first is that evil can be overcome by more evil, that the end justifies the means. This belief is very prevalent in our world today. It is the war way. It is the official position of every major nation.” WorldWayFirstsMeanTwoWarEndsTodayLawEvilBeliefNationsDarknessPositionConflictMajorsOvercomingHarmonyDuesOfficialsJustifyOur WorldWorld TodayOpposingDisintegrationEnds Justify The Means Author:Peace Pilgrim
