Quote by Hesiod

For both faith and want of faith have destroyed men alike.

For both faith and want of faith have destroyed men alike.

Summary

This quote suggests that having unreasonable faith and a lack of it can be equally destructive for individuals. It implies that blindly believing in something without considering evidence or reason can be detrimental, just as lacking faith or belief in anything can have negative consequences as well. In both cases, the extreme end of either perspective can lead to irrational decisions and actions that can harm individuals and their potential for growth or happiness. Therefore, finding a balanced approach to faith and skepticism is crucial for leading a fulfilling and harmonious life.

However modest one may be in one's demand for intellectual cleanliness, one cannot help feeling, when coming into contact with the New Testament, a kind of inexpressible discomfiture: for the unchecked impudence with which the least qualified want to raise their voice on the greatest problems, and even claim to be judges of things, surpasses all measure.
