If we look deep into the life of every human, we discover that it is full of miracles. You will say, Of terror and death, as well. Yes, that also. But we do not clearly see why the blood of these victims must flow. There, in the heavens, they understand everything and, no doubt, have found calm and the Truer Homeland -- a heavenly Homeland. We on this earth must look to that Heavenly Homeland with understanding and say with resignation, Thy will be done. Completely destroyed now is the Great Russia without fear or reproach, but Holy Russia, the Orthodox Church, the Church against which the gates of hell shall not prevail, exists and exists as never before; and those who believe, who have no doubts, have an inner sun that illuminates the darkness of the thundering storm.

If we must embrace a world without love or justice to survive, and live in a world that's plagued by evil that's ruled by the mighty then I believe there is only one path. LET IT BE DESTROYED.

As long as the people of Earth continue to love one another and strive for peace, no matter what challenges we may face, our world will never be destroyed! That's what we've been fighting for this whole time. And we shall continue to fight for the future. If this world is ever filled with evil, I will always risk my life to save the people of Earth.

– Athena AthenaRate it:

If we never experience the chill of a dark winter, it is very unlikely that we will ever cherish the warmth of a bright summer’s day. Nothing stimulates our appetite for the simple joys of life more than the starvation caused by sadness or desperation.

– Mother TeresaRate it:

If we put the emphasis upon the right things, if we live the life that is worth while and then fail, we will survive all disasters, we will out-live all misfortune. We should be so well balanced and symmetrical, that nothing which could ever happen could throw us off our center, so that no matter what misfortune should overtake us, there would still be a whole magnificent man or woman left after being stripped of everything else.

– Orison Swett MardenRate it:

If we resist our passions, it is more from their weakness than from our strength.

– La RochefoucauldRate it:

If we say a little it is easy to add, but having said too much it is hard to withdraw and never can it be done so quickly as to hinder the harm of our success.

– Saint Francis de SalesRate it:

If we slide into one of those rare moments of military honesty, we realize that the technical demands of modern warfare are so complex a considerable percentage of our material is bound to malfunction even before it is deployed against a foe. We no longer waste manpower by carrying the flag into battle. Instead we need battalions of electronic engineers to keep the terrible machinery grinding.

– Ernest K. Gann, The Black WatchRate it:

If we stand by the eagle, fish will die; if we stand by the fish, eagle will die! This dilemma has been created by the random evolutionary process. There is no goodness, there is no justice and there is no intelligence in here. We are living in a primitive and flawed order.

– Maria EdgeworthRate it:

If we take in our hand any volume; of divinity or school metaphysics, for instance; let us ask, "Does it contain any abstract reasoning concerning quantity or number?" No. "Does it contain any experimental reasoning concerning matter of fact and existence?" No. Commit it then to the flames: for it can contain nothing but sophistry and illusion.

– David HumeRate it:

If we take it much further, then paying tithing in church can also be considered a scam. Simply, the priest is idle in prayer; patiently waiting for your 10% of your income. You work to feed him. Free money.
