"An intelligence test sometimes shows a man how smart he would have been not to have taken it." ― Laurence J. Peter Topic(s): Faith More From Laurence J. Peter "Television has changed the American child from an irresistable force to an immovable object." "Heredity is what sets the parents of a teenager wondering about each other." "Early to bed, early to rise, work like hell, and advertise." More In Faith "Although a man may wear fine clothing, if he lives peacefully; and is good, self-possessed, has faith and is pure; and if he does not hurt any living being, he is a holy man."― Denis Diderot "I am not a great theologian. I know there is a theological concept called invincible ignorance in which a strong enough faith binds you to any facts to the contrary."― Barney Frank "In other words, a person who is fanatic in matters of religion, and clings to certain ideas about the nature of God and the universe, becomes a person who has no faith at all."― Alan Watts
