Education and Public Opinion

Very often the simplest and least educated people can easily and unconsciously understand the meaning of life while the most scholarly people lack this ability because they have been too educated to understand the simple things that are basic to all people. (Leo Tolstoy, A Calendar of Wisdom, 19 July)

"Jerusalem sinned greatly ... Her uncleanness was in her skirts, she did not consider her future. Therefore she has fallen astonishingly; she has no comforter." (Lamentations 1:8-9 found in Search My Heart O God by Kay Arthur, 17 June)

In the world today, real faith has in most cases been replaced by public opinion. People do not believe in God, but they believe in many minor things which are taught by other people. (Leo Tolstoy, A Calendar of Wisdom, 10 July)
