“Moral decay first hampers and then strangles honest government, regular commerce, and even the ability to take genuine pleasure in the goods of this world. Compulsion is applied from above as self-discipline relaxes below, and the last liberties expire under the weight of a unitary state....

“The error of the ignorant goes so far as to say that God's power is insufficient, because he has given to this Universe the properties which they imagine cause these great evils, and which do not help all evil-disposed persons to obtain the evil which they seek, and to bring their evil souls to the aim of their desires, though these, as we have shown, are really without limit.” PersonsSoulHelpingDesireUniverseEvilGivenCausesImagineLimitsAimPropertyErrorsIgnorantInsufficient Book:The Guide for the Perplexed Source: The Guide for the Perplexed
