“The true value of the Christian religion rests, not upon speculative views of the Creator, which must necessarily be different in each individual, according to the extent of the knowledge of the finite being, who employs his own feeble powers in contemplating the infinite: but it rests upon those doctrines of kindness and benevolence which that religion claims and enforces, not merely in favour of man himself but of every creature susceptible of pain or of happiness.” MenDifferentChristianPainValuesIndividualViewsKindnessCreaturesClaimsInfiniteCreatorDoctrineContemplatingFavourFiniteBenevolenceSusceptibleTrue Value Author:Charles Babbage
“The quintessential revolution is that of the spirit, born of an intellectual conviction of the need for change in those mental attitudes and values which shape the course of a nation's development. A revolution which aims merely at changing official policies and institutions with a view to an improvement in material conditions has little chance of genuine success. Without a revolution of the spirit, the forces which produced the iniquities of the old order would continue to be operative, posing a constant threat to the process of reform and regeneration.” NeedsLittlesSpiritValuesOrderCoursesForceNationsProcessBornChanceViewsAttitudeConditionsPolicyMaterialsRevolutionDevelopmentShapesIntellectualAimInstitutionsConstantThreatConvictionImprovementGenuineReformOfficialsNeed A ChangeMental AttitudeRegenerationIniquityPosingQuintessential Author:Aung San Suu Kyi
