Wise Quotes about Kills

while every pessimist would keep the worlds at a standstill.

ignorance and crime, and dries up
all the fountains of joy in the world.

There are as many perspectives on
the nature of God as there are people.

that each view of God describes an aspect of the complex whole.
Or perhaps the nature of God is actually defined by our beliefs.
