“These are illusions of popular history which successful religion must promote: Evil men never prosper; only the brave deserve the fair; honesty is the best policy; actions speak louder than words; virtue always triumpths; a good deed is its own rewards; any bad human can be reformed; religious talismans protect one from demon possession; only females understand the ancient mysteries; the rich are doomed to unhappiness” MenHumansActionEvilSpeakReligiousVirtueSuccessfulRichMysteryHonestyPolicyProtectIllusionDeserveFemaleFairsBraveRewardsAncientDeedsPossessionDemonUnhappinessDoomedGood DeedsEvil ManActions Speak Louder Than WordsHonesty Is The Best PolicyTalismansActions Speak Louder Book:Children of Dune Source: Children of Dune
“King René of Anjou [(1409-80)]was a strange compound of amiable, great and trifling qualities. He was so excellent a sovereign as to acquire the surnom of the Good. He was brave in war, delighted in tournaments and wrote on them, instituted festivals and processions, partly religious and partly burlesque, was a fond husband, a romantic lover, a good painter for that age, and a true philosopher.” WarAgeReligiousQualityStrangeKingsLoversHusbandBravePhilosopherPainterExcellentAcquireRomantic LoveSovereignFestivalsRoyaltyDelightedTournamentsCompoundsTriflingAmiableProcessionBurlesque Author:Horace Walpole
