“What would the world be like if you had to develop a power yourself before you could use it? Just as a silly example: How would the comment section on YouTube change if, to use it, you had to have the schooling necessary to have a basic understanding of how computers and the internet work? More seriously, would anyone smart enough to know how to design and build a tank, or a laser guided anti-aircraft missile, or a computer and video editing software be stupid enough to join ISIS? In fact, if such knowledge was requiredâ€”would it even be possible for there to be standing armies?”
“What you believe matters, however. Itâ€™s all anyone has to act on. And since what you do is who you are, your actions define you. If you donâ€™t believe anything is true simply because you canâ€™t logically prove whatâ€™s true, you wonâ€™t do anything. You wonâ€™t be anything. Youâ€™ll end up spending your life in a rocking chair looking out at the horizon waiting for an answer that never comes. You might as well be dead. Itâ€™s an old philosophical problem.”

He touched the forest and it became to him a church in which the purest and noblest worship of God was observed. His occupation has become associated in our minds with the integrity of the life he lived. In Lincoln there was always some quality that fastened him to the people and taught their to keep time to the music of his heart.”
