Before God We Are All Equally Wise And Equally

Think not those faithful who praise all thy words and actions, but those who kindly reprove thy faults.

Small-minded people blame others. Average people blame themselves. The wise see all blame as foolishness.

Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by rulers as useful

You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.

Through pride we are ever deceiving ourselves. But deep down below the surface of the average conscience a still, small voice says to us, something is out of tune.

If you want to improve, be content to be thought foolish and stupid.
