Quote by Matthew Henry

It is common for those that are farthest from God, to boast themselves most of their being near to the Church.

It is common for those that are farthest from God, to boast

Summary

This quote suggests that individuals who are distant from spirituality or disconnected from a higher power often tend to boast about their close association with organized religion or the church. The underlying meaning is that these individuals may use their outward affiliation as a way to compensate for their lack of genuine spiritual connection or personal relationship with God. It points to the idea that being close to the physical institution of the church does not necessarily equate to a deep spiritual connection or closeness to God.

In this world, only those people who have fallen to the lowest degree of humiliation, far below beggary, who are not just without any social consideration but are regarded by all as being deprived of that foremost human dignity, reason itself -- only those people, in fact, are capable of telling the truth. All the others lie.

When someone says something or writes something or plays something that moves you to the point of tears, maybe even changes you.
