“Suppose there arise a dispute relative to some important question among us, should we not have recourse to the most ancient Churches with which the apostles held constant intercourse, and learn from them what is certain and clear in regard to the present question? For how should it be if the apostles themselves had not left us writings? Would it not be necessary, in that case, to follow the course of the tradition which they handed down to those to whom they did commit the Churches?” IfsShouldWritingImportantCertainCoursesLeftChurchCasesClearTraditionRegardConstantAncientAriseCommitCatholicismRelativeDisputesApostlesIntercourseRecourseImportant Questions Author:Irenaeus of Lyons
“Conversation was never begun at once, nor in a hurried manner. No one was quick with a question, no matter how important, and no one was pressed for an answer. A pause giving time for thought was the truly courteous way of beginning and conducting a conversation. Silence was meaningful with the Lakota, and his granting a space of silence to the speech-maker and his own moment of silence before talking was done in the practice of true politeness and regard for the rule that, "thought comes before speech."” WayGivingImportantMatterDoneMomentsSpaceAnswersSilenceTalkingPracticeConversationSpeechRegardMeaningfulNativeMakersNative AmericanPausesSilence IsPolitenessConductingCourteousNative AmericaNative American IndianGreat Native AmericanNative American EarthIndian WisdomMoment Of SilenceLakotaGiving Time Author:Luther Standing Bear

But one must avoid the prejudice that regards the religions of primitive peoples as pure fear religions and those of the civilized races as pure moral religions. All are mixed forms, though the moral element predominates in the higher levels of social life. Common to all these types is the anthropomorphic character of the idea of God.” PeopleImportantIdeasCharacterFormSocialLevelsCommonRaceMoralTypeHigherPureElementsPrejudiceTransformationRegardCivilizedPrimitiveSocial LifeHigher Level Book:Einstein on Cosmic Religion and Other Opinions and Aphorisms Source: Einstein on Cosmic Religion and Other Opinions and Aphorisms

“As long as we live in a system of states, and as long as the roots of fascism and imperialist aggression have not finally been extirpated, our vigilance in regard to possible new violators of peace should not slacken, and concern for the strengthening of cooperation between the peace-loving powers will continue to be our most important duty.” ShouldLongImportantStatesDutyConcernRootsRegardCooperationFascismAggressionStrengtheningVigilance Author:Vyacheslav Molotov
