~ God offers to every mind its choice between truth and repose. Take which you please - you can never have both ~  ~ I am not an advocate for frequent changes in laws and constitutions, but laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths discovered and manners and opinions change, with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times. We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors ~ ~ Democracy is a constant tension between truth and half-truth and, in the arsenal of truth, there is no greater weapon than fact ~ ~ In a state-run society the government promises you security. But it's a false promise predicated on the idea that the opposite of security is risk. Nothing could be further from the truth. The opposite of security is insecurity, and the only way to overcome insecurity is to take risks. The gentle government that promises to hold your hand as you cross the street refuses to let go on the other side ~ ~ The truth is that neither British nor American imperialism was or is idealistic. It has always been driven by economic or strategic interests. ~ ~ Defending the truth is not something one does out of a sense of duty or to allay guilt complexes, but is a reward in itself. ~ ~ The aim of flattery is to soothe and encourage us by assuring us of the truth of an opinion we have already formed about ourselves. ~ ~ Flattery makes friends and truth makes enemies. ~ ~ Thus meditating you will no longer strive to build yourself up in your prejudices, but, forgetting self, you will remember only that you are seeking the Truth ~ ~ Seek truth in meditation, not in moldy books. Look in the sky to find the moon, not in the pond ~ ~ It is not he that reads most, but he that meditates most on Divine truth, that will prove the choicest, wisest, strongest Christian. ~ ~ It is not he that reads most, but he that meditates most on Divine truth, that will prove the choicest, wisest, strongest Christian. ~  |
