Wayne’s Quotes

“It is an easy thing for one whose foot is on the outside of calamity to give advice and to rebuke the sufferer.”
― Aeschylus

“Our faith in merit is spiritually and morally harmful for parents and children, teachers and students, winners and losers, individuals and communities. And it is based on the belief that we are our own.”
― Alan Noble, You Are Not Your Own: Belonging to God in an Inhuman World

“We often talk about being “born again” as if we’ve left our past behind. But our past comes with us, often haunting us. Freedom’s trials can shatter our optimism, making us want to turn back to what was secure and familiar.”
― Chuck DeGroat, Leaving Egypt: Finding God in the Wilderness Places

“You can’t make a dog happy by forcibly wagging its tail. And you can’t change people’s minds by utterly refuting their arguments.”
― Jonathan Haidt, The Righteous Mind: Why Good People are Divided by Politics and Religion

“Keep your eye on the intuitions, and don’t take people’s moral arguments at face value. They’re mostly post hoc constructions made up on the fly, crafted to advance one or more strategic objectives.”
― Jonathan Haidt, The Righteous Mind: Why Good People are Divided by Politics and Religion
