“Courtesy is a science of the highest importance. It is...opening a door that we may derive instruction from the example of others, and at the same time enabling us to benefit them by our example, if there be anything in our character worthy of imitation.” IfsMayCharacterDoorsExampleBenefitsHighestImportanceWorthyOpeningInstructionImitationCourtesyEnabling Author:Michel de Montaigne
“To better understand God we must first shatter our own idea of God - maybe even day after day. Maybe he's too great to stay compressed in the human mind. Maybe he splits it wide open; this is why pretentious intellectualism so often fails to comprehend the concept of God: it is only accepting of what it can explain while in the process finding higher sources offensive. What we may confidently assert is that faith is the opening that allows God, this unpredictable, unseen power, to travel in and out of the mind without all the pains of confusion.” MindFirstsHumansMayIdeasPainProcessAcceptingFailingSourceHigherFindingsConceptsWideOpeningConfusionHuman MindSplitsOffensiveUnseenUnpredictablePretentiousIntellectualism Author:Criss Jami
