The relation of faith between subject and object is unique in every case. Hundreds may believe, but each has to believe by himself.
W. H. AudenPolitics cannot be a science, because in politics theory and practice cannot be separated, and the sciences depend upon their separation.
W. H. AudenTo pray is to pay attention to something or someone other than oneself. Whenever a man so concentrates his attention - on a landscape, a poem, a geometrical problem, an idol, or the True God - that he completely forgets his own ego and desires, he is praying. The primary task of the schoolteacher is to teach children, in a secular context, the technique of prayer.
