Quote by Voltaire

All men are born with a nose and ten fingers, but no one was born with a knowledge of God.

All men are born with a nose and ten fingers, but no one was

Summary

This quote emphasizes that while certain physical attributes are innate in all humans, such as having a nose and ten fingers, an understanding or belief in a higher power, such as God, is not inherently present at birth. It suggests that knowledge of God or religious beliefs develops through external influences, personal experiences, and conscious exploration, rather than being an inherent trait.

In England, it's a rare thing to see a player smoking but, all in all, I prefer that to an alcoholic. The relationship with alcohol is a real problem in English football and, in the short term, it's much more harmful to a sportsman. It weakens the body, which becomes more susceptible to injury.
