Thought-provoking Quotes

 


"When piety becomes fanaticism, then faith becomes arrogance, and goodness inevitably becomes cruelty."

"Modern technology, for instance, cannot free us to serve what we count the good. In a strange way modern civilization far from solving our difficulties, seems rather to eternalize them. We are better cared for, but we have more cares." 

-Both quotes are from: "Burdened With Erudition and Paralyzed With Indecision--A sermon on Paralytics," preached by the Rev. Dr. William Sloane Coffin, Jr., on March 2, 1967, at the Duke Divinity School Chapel.
