“The love of God is not taught. No one has taught us to enjoy the light or to be attached to life more than anything else. And no one has taught us to love the two people who brought us into the world and educated us. Which is all the more reason to believe that we did not learn to love God as a result of outside instruction. In the very nature of every human being has been sown the seed of the ability to love. You and I ought to welcome this seed, cultivate it carefully, nourish it attentively and foster its growth by going to the school of God's commandments with help of His grace.” PeopleWorldLoveBelieveHumansHas BeensTwoReasonHelpingLightTruthSchoolEnjoyGrowthHuman BeingsAbilityResultsGraceLove YouTaughtOughtSeedsWelcomeEducatedGod LoveInstructionCommandmentsTaught UsAbility To Love Author:Saint Basil
“The ignorant frighten children with ghosts, and the better educated assure them there is no such thing. Our understanding may believe the latter, but our instincts believe the former; so that, out of this education, we retain the terror, and just believe enough to make it very troublesome whenever we are placed in circumstances that awaken it.” BelieveMayChildrenEnoughUnderstandingCircumstancesInstinctTerrorGhostIgnorantEducatedFormerLatterTroublesomeJust Believe Book:The night-side of nature; or, Ghosts and ghost-seers Source: The night-side of nature; or, Ghosts and ghost-seers
“Man has existed for about a million years. He has possessed writing for about 6,000 years, agriculture somewhat longer, but perhaps not much longer. Science, as a dominant factor in determining the belief of educated men, has existed for about 300 years; as a source of economic technique, for about 150 years. In this brief period it has proved itself an incredibly powerful revolutionary force. When we consider how recently it has risen to power, we find ourselves forced to believe that we are at the very beginning of its work in transforming human life.” MenWritingYearsBelieveHumansScienceBeliefForcePowerfulHistoryMillionsPowerLearningEconomicSourcePeriodsEconomicsTechniqueFactorsEducatedHuman LifeRevolutionaryPossessedAgricultureDominantTransformingRisenEducated Man Book:The Impact of Science On Society Source: The Impact of Science On Society
