Anything Which Causes Trouble Has Special Merit

Only A Very Few Can Be Learned, But All Can Be Christian, All Can Be Devout, And – I Shall Boldly Add – All Can Be Theologians.

It's The Generally Accepted Privilege Of Theologians To Stretch The Heavens, That Is The Scriptures, Like Tanners With A Hide.

Nothing Is So Foolish, They Say, As For A Man To Stand For Office And Woo The Crowd To Win Its Vote, Buy Its Support With Presents, Court The Applause Of All Those Fools And Feel Self-satisfied When They Cry Their Approval, And Then In His Hour Of Triumph To Be Carried Round Like An Effigy For The Public To Stare At, And End Up Cast In Bronze To Stand In The Market Place.

By Identifying The New Learning With Heresy, You Make Orthodoxy Synonymous With Ignorance.

Fortune Favours The Audacious.
