Don't dwell on who let you down, cherish those who hold you up. - Unknown

The usual rule is that the more we really know, the more
conscious we are of the littleness of our knowledge. -Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892) _Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit_, Volume 23 [1877]

If you would be known and not know, vegetate in a village. If you
would know and not be known, live in a city. -Charles Caleb Colton

The root problem, however, is not a matter of economics but theology and ethics. The loss of faith in God led to a new and profoundly distorted faith in the state as the savior of the world. The loss in an ethic of life led to a disrespect for the truth of freedom itself, which is the ethical foundation of the market economy. Freedom can be a visible thing but its roots are in an invisible theological outlook that affirms that the universe and mankind have a transcendent origin and purpose. Let us turn to God and pray for conversion away from false faiths toward eternal truths.-Robert A. Sirico http://www.acton.org/pub/religion-liberty/volume-18-number-2/mistaken-faiths-our-age
