“It is easy to see, though it scarcely needs to be pointed out, since it is involved in the fact that Reason is set aside, that faith is not a form of knowledge; for all knowledge is either a knowledge of the eternal, excluding the temporal and historical as indifferent, or it is pure historical knowledge. No knowledge can have for its object the absurdity that the eternal is the historical.” NeedsReasonFactsFormFaithEasyKnowledgeObjectsInvolvedPureEternalHistoricalIndifferentAbsurdityHistorical Knowledge Author:Soren Kierkegaard

“Vague and mysterious forms of speech, and abuse of language, have so long passed for mysteries of science; and hard or misapplied words with little or no meaning have, by prescription, such a right to be mistaken for deep learning and height of speculation, that it will not be easy to persuade either those who speak or those who hear them, that they are but the covers of ignorance and hindrance of true knowledge.” LittlesLongHardFormSpeakLanguageEasyKnowledgeMysteryIgnoranceSpeechAbuseMysteriousHeightVagueMistakenSpeculationPrescriptionsHindranceTrue KnowledgeDeep Learning Author:John Locke
“If anyone removes (one of the) anxieties of this world from a believer, God will remove (one of the) anxieties from him on the Day of Resurrection; if one smoothes the way for one who is destitute, God will smooth the way for him in this world and the next; and if anyone conceals the faults of a Muslim, God will conceal his faults in this world and the next. God helps a man as long as he helps his brother. If anyone pursues a path in search of knowledge God will thereby make easy for him a path to paradise.” IfsMenWorldWayLongHelpingNextEasyKnowledgePathThis WorldBrotherAnxietyFaultsIslamBelieverGods WillPursueParadiseRemoveResurrectionSmoothGod HelpDestitute Author:Elijah Muhammad

“For the little that one has reflected on the origin of our knowledge, it is easy to perceive that we can acquire it only by means of comparison. That which is absolutely incomparable is wholly incomprehensible. God is the only example that we could give here. He cannot be comprehended, because he cannot be compared. But all which is susceptible of comparison, everything that we can perceive by different aspects, all that we can consider relatively, can always be judged according to our knowledge.” KnowsGivingMeanLittlesDifferentGodScienceEasyKnowledgeExampleAspectObservationPerceiveAcquireComparisonJudgedSusceptibleIncomparable Author:Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon
