Quote by Hugh Jackman

I just find the evangelical church too, well, restrictive. But the School of Practical Philosophy is nonconfrontational. We believe there are many forms of Scripture. What is true is true and will never change, whether it's in the Bible or in Shakespeare. It's about oneness.

Summary

This quote emphasizes a contrast between the perceived restrictiveness of the evangelical church and the inclusive nature of the School of Practical Philosophy. The speaker finds the evangelical church to impose limitations, presumably in terms of beliefs or practices. In contrast, the School of Practical Philosophy is depicted as nonconfrontational and open to various sources of wisdom. The belief in different forms of Scripture suggests a recognition that truth exists beyond religious texts alone, embracing the idea that what is true remains constant across different sources like the Bible or even Shakespeare. The quote strives for a sense of unity and interconnectedness, emphasizing that truth transcends specific religious boundaries.

The genius of capitalism consists precisely in its lack of morality. Unless he is rich enough to hire his own choir, a capitalist is a fellow who, by definition, can ill afford to believe in anything other than the doctrine of the bottom line. Deprive a capitalist of his God-given right to lie and cheat and steal, and the poor sap stands a better than even chance of becoming one of the abominable wards of the state from whose grimy fingers the Reagan Administration hopes to snatch the ark of democracy.

The path of least resistance and least trouble is a mental rut already made. It requires troublesome work to undertake the alternation of old beliefs. Self-conceit often regards it as a sign of weakness to admit that a belief to which we have once committed ourselves is wrong. We get so identified with an idea that it is literally a pet notion and we rise to its defense and stop our eyes and ears to anything different.
