People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can't find them, make them.

Let us face at the outset how many Christians are not victor

Let us face at the outset how many Christians are not victorious, but defeated. Defeated by circumstances, defeated by other peoplesÂ’ natures and wrong-doings, defeated by the down-drag of the flesh, defeated by loss, by pain, by suffering, by worry. Instead of saying with confidence, Â“This is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faithÂ”, they have to say in honesty, Â“This is the defeat that has been caused by the world, even our self-centeredness.Â” That is the opposite of faith. Unbelief is not the opposite of faith; self-centeredness is Â– being centered in self rather than in God.

Science is based on experiment, on a willingness to challenge old dogma, on an openness to see the universe as it really is. Accordingly, science sometimes requires courage - at the very least the courage to question the conventional wisdom.
