“Belief in Yahweh doesn't come with your mind. It comes with your heart. When you only believe in things you can see with your eyes and touch with your hands, it is idolatry... To have faith in Yahweh is to know that there is a realm of the spirit beyond the comprehension of our minds... Trusting in Molech... or trusting in your own wisdom and intellect - there's no difference in God's eyes. It's all idolatry.” KnowsMindBelieveHeartHandsEyeSpiritBeliefDifferencesIntellectRealmsHave FaithComprehensionIdolatryYahweh Author:Lynn Austin
“The key to success in any kind of start up is your level of persistence. It's not so much your intellect.

“In Islamic belief, knowledge is two-fold. There is that revealed through the Holy Prophet (s.a.s.) and that which man discovers by virtue of his own intellect. Nor do these two involve any contradiction, provided man remembers that his own mind is itself the creation of God. Without this humility, no balance is possible. With it, there are no barriers. Indeed, one strength of Islam has always lain in its belief that creation is not static but continuous, that through scientific and other endeavours, God has opened and continues to open new windows for us to see the marvels of His creation” MenMindTwoRememberBeliefVirtueCreationHumilityBalanceHolyWindowIslamIntellectProphetIslamicContradictionBarriersFoldsStaticEndeavourHoly Prophet Author:Aga Khan IV
“I have endeavoured to show that no absolute structural line of demarcation, wider than that between the animals which immediately succeed us in the scale, can be drawn between the animal world and ourselves; and I may add the expression of my belief that the attempt to draw a physical distinction is equally futile, and that even the highest faculties of feeling and of intellect begin to germinate in lower forms of life.” WorldMayShowsFeelingsFormBeliefLinesAnimalExpressionSucceedHighestDrawsAbsolutesAddIntellectScalesDistinctionFacultyAnimal World Author:Thomas Huxley

“Explaining belief has alwayas been difficult. How do you explain a love and a logic at the heart of the universe when the world is so out of whack?

“Remind yourself regularly that you are better than you think you are. Successful people are not superhuman. Success does not require a super-intellect. Nor is there anything mystical about success.
