Quote by Conrad Black
The balance between faith and reason is for the determination of each individual, and of the people as a whole, not of unauthorized government officials uttering impious humbug as they arbitrarily try to define that balance.
Summary
This quote expresses the idea that the balance between faith and reason should be left to individual judgment and collective decision-making, rather than being imposed by government figures who may lack the authority or understanding to define this balance. It criticizes government officials who make ungodly and nonsensical statements while trying to dictate how faith and reason should coexist. The quote emphasizes the importance of personal and democratic exploration to find this equilibrium, suggesting that it should not be subject to arbitrary and misguided interference from those in power.
