Everything Has Changed Except The Way Man

Whoever Undertakes To Set Himself Up As A Judge Of Truth And Knowledge Is Shipwrecked By The Laughter Of The Gods.

Marvellous, What Ideas The Young People Have These Days. But I Don't Believe A Word Of It.

Conviction Is A Good Motive, But A Bad Judge.

During The Last Century, And Part Of The One Before, It Was Widely Held That There Was An Unreconcilable Conflict Between Knowledge And Belief. The Opinion Prevailed Amoung Advanced Minds That It Was Time That Belief Should Be Replaced Increasingly By Knowledge; Belief That Did Not Itself Rest On Knowledge Was Superstition, And As Such Had To Be Opposed. According To This Conception, The Sole Function Of Education Was To Open The Way To Thinking And Knowing, And The School, As The Outstanding Organ For The People's Education, Must Serve That End Exclusively.

Understanding Of Our Fellow Human Beings...becomes Fruitful Only When It Is Sustained By Sympathetic Feelings In Joy And Sorrow.
