Quote by Robert Cecil

Faith makes all evil good to us, and all good better unbelief makes all good evil, and all evil worse. Faith laughs at the shaking of the spear unbelief trembles at the shaking of a leaf.

Faith makes all evil good to us, and all good better unbelie

Summary

This quote highlights the power of faith and the detrimental effects of unbelief. It suggests that faith has the ability to transform evil into something positive and make all good things even better. On the other hand, unbelief is portrayed as a mindset that can turn even good things into something negative and magnify the impact of evil. Faith is seen as resilient and joyful, able to face challenges with fearlessness (laughing at the shaking of a spear). Unbelief, in contrast, is described as fearful and easily shaken, even by the smallest causes for concern (trembling at the shaking of a leaf).

Truth cannot be given to you; especially if you are following an organized religion, then truth will be as far from you as darkness is from light. Truth is not found by observing rituals, undertaking pilgrimages or reading the scriptures. It is simply a waste of time.
