“One does not learn anything except by believing something, and -- conversely -- if one doubts everything one learns nothing. On the other hand, believing everything uncritically is the road to disaster. The faculty of doubt is essential. But as I have argued, rational doubt always rests on faith and not vice versa. The relationship between the two cannot be reversed.” IfsBelieveDoeTwoHandsDoubtEssentialsVicesDisasterRationalFacultyVice Versa Author:Lesslie Newbigin

“Fear is not an emotion, it is a disease. It spreads from the leader to his followers and vice-versa. Nothing has killed more men in war than fear. What should a warrior fear? Death? But death is what everyone achieves ultimately. Is it wounds that you fear? What is more important? A pint of your blood or the nectar of victory? Think. Thinking will clear such doubts.” ThinkingMenShouldImportantWarEmotionLeaderClearDoubtBloodAchieveVictoryDiseaseVicesSpreadWoundsWarriorFollowersFear Of DeathVice VersaPintsNectar Author:Anand Neelakantan
