"A sublime faith in human imbecility has seldom led those who cherish it astray." ― Havelock Ellis Topic(s): Faith More From Havelock Ellis "If men and women are to understand each other, to enter into each other’s nature with mutual sympathy, and to become capable of genuine comradeship, the foundation must be laid in youth." "‘Charm’ – which means the power to effect work without employing brute force – is indispensable to women. Charm is a woman’s strength just as strength is a man’s charm." "What we call progress is the exchange of one nuisance for another nuisance." More In Faith "Action and faith enslave thought, both of them in order not be troubled or inconvenienced by reflection, criticism, and doubt."― Henri Frederic Amiel "Taking it in its wider and generic application, I understand faith to be the supplement of sense; or, to change the phrase, all knowledge which comes not to us through our senses we gain by faith in others."― Matthew Simpson "I’m going to buy some green bananas because by the time I get home they’ll be ripe."― Ryan Stiles
