“Philosophers are all caught up in their philosophies. That's their house of cards. Religious leaders are caught up in their religious movements to the point where they forget about freedom. Everybody's got their drama going.” PhilosophyHumanityHouseReligiousForgetLeaderMovementBuddhismDramaCaughtPhilosopherCardsCaught UpReligious LeadersHouse Of Cards Author:Frederick Lenz
“Evolution throws a wonderful light on all the struggles, eccentricities, tortuous developments of the human conscience in the past. It is the only theory of morals that does. And evolution throws just as much light on the ethical and social struggle today; and it is the only theory that does. What a strange age ours is from the religious point of view! What a hopeless age from the philosopher's point of view! Yet it is a very good age, the best that ever was. No evolutionist is a pessimist.” HumansDoeLightAgeTodayPastSocialReligiousViewsMoralStruggleWonderfulAtheismStrangeTheoryDevelopmentEvolutionConscienceVery GoodPhilosopherPoint Of ViewHopelessEthicalPessimistEccentricity Author:Joseph McCabe
“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

“No matter how much we may study, it is not possible to come to know God unless we live according to His commandments, for God is not know by science, but by the Holy Spirit. Many philosophers and learned men came to the belief that God exists, but they did not know God. It is one thing to belief that God exists and another to know Him. If someone has come to know God by the Holy Spirit, his soul will burn with love for God day and night, and his soul cannot be bound to any earthly thing.” IfsKnowsMenInspirationalMaySoulMatterChristianSpiritNightBeliefReligiousStudyOne ThingHolyBoundsPhilosopherGod LoveHoly SpiritOrthodoxCommandmentsKnowing GodDay And NightGod ExistsEarthly Things Author:Silouan the Athonite
