He freed man from outer religiosity because he made religiosity the inner man. He freed the body from chains because he enchained the heart.

Sometimes people have been stepping so long, they have forgotten what it's like to be stepped on.

God never wrought miracle to convince atheism, because his ordinary works convince it. It is true, that a little philosophy inclineth man__ mind to atheism; but depth in philosophy bringeth men__ minds about to religion.

Atheism and traditional institutions of the Church are the polar sides of the same marasmus: either of them is badly lacking the truth.

The heart must be renewed by divine grace, or it will be in vain to seek for purity of life. He who attempts to build up a noble, virtuous character independent of the grace of Christ is building his house upon the shifting sand.

Quran_, __ible_, __hagwadGita_ are your (as an follower's) way of life and not every-ones way of life, so don't force people to change. These Holy books teach you to change yourself (for good) and not others.

pg.90 of Philosophy in the Flesh: We are basing our argument on the existence of at least three stable scientific findings--the embodied mind, the cognitive unconscious, and metaphorical thought. Just as the ideas of cells and DNA in biology are stable and not likely to be found to be mistakes, so we believe that there is more than enough converging evidence to establish at least these three results. Ironically, these scientific results challenge the classical philosophical view of scientific realism, a disembodied objective scientific realism that can be characterized by the following three claims:1. There is a world independent of our understanding of it.2. We can have stable knowledge of it.3. Our very concepts and forms of reason are characterized not by our bodies and brains, but by the external world in itself. It follows that scientific truths are not merely truths as we understand them, but absolute truths. Obiviously, we accept (1) and (2) and we believe that (2) applies to the three findings of cognitive science we are discussing on the basis of converging evidence. But those findings themselves contradict (3).
