“Muhammad was a prince; he rallied his compatriots around him. In a few years, the Muslims conquered half of the world. They plucked more souls from false gods, knocked down more idols, razed more pagan temples in fifteen years than the followers of Moses and Jesus did in fifteen centuries. Muhammad was a great man. He would indeed have been a god, if the revolution that he had performed had not been prepared by the circumstances.” IfsMenWorldYearsHas BeensSoulJesusHalfCenturyRevolutionCircumstancesArmyPreparedGreat MenTemplesFollowersIdolsFifteenMosesMuhammadPaganFifteen YearsKnocked DownFalse Gods Author:Napoleon Bonaparte

It is one that changes their ideas, beliefs, feelings, and habits of choice, as well as their bodily tendencies and social relations. It penetrates to the deepest layer of their soul. External, social arrangements may be used to this end, but they are not the end, nor are they a fundamental part of the means” PeopleFirstsHumansWellsHeartMayMeanIdeasSoulEndsCharacterFeelingsUsedSpiritChoicesJesusBeliefSocialChristRevolutionHabitRelationFundamentalsTendenciesLayersArrangementsHuman HeartOngoingPenetratePersonal RelationshipsSocial Relations Author:Dallas Willard

“Fear that I was very different from everyone else. Fear that deep down inside I was a shallow fraud, that after the revolution or after Jesus came down to straighten everything out, everyone from hippies to hard-hats would unfold and blossom into the beautiful people they were while I would remain a gnarled little wart in the corner, oozing bile and giving off putrid smells.” PeopleGivingLittlesDifferentHardBeautifulJesusFearRevolutionCornersSmellHatsFraudShallowHippieDeep DownBeautiful PeopleWarts Book:The Eden Express: A Memoir of Insanity Source: The Eden Express: A Memoir of Insanity
