Another part of reality that liberals and progressives find difficult to accept is the fact that equality among humans is the exception and inequality the norm. If one were to list the world's top 30 violinists of the 20th century, at least 20 of them would be of Jewish ancestry. Jews constitute no more than 3 percent of the U.S. population but 35 percent of American Nobel Prize winners. One wonders what liberals would propose to promote equality in violin excellence and winning a Nobel Prize. ~ Dr. Walter Williams, "The Liberal Struggle Against Reality"
Supposing a man were exposed in his own house to the danger of fire, hostile attack or robbery, but had a safe place somewhere else or had a friend whom he could trust. If he gave him his treasure for safe-keeping, he would not run back every minute of the day to inspect it or to sort through it piece by piece; he would rest content. Such a man would be happy to leave all he had in the hands of his friend, because even after a year he would still trust him. It is the same with God. He keeps careful watch over our salvation, which if left to us would be greatly at risk. The devil would soon snatch it away, but God has his eye on it and keeps it safe. He is its guardian. How then can we be said to honour him if we do not trust him to keep it firm and secure?’ - John Calvin
