Athanasius of Alexandria
“We will begin then with the creation of the world with God its Maker, for the first fact that you must grasp is this: The renewal of Creation has been wrought by the Self-Same Word who made it in the beginning. There is thus no inconsistency between creation and salvation for the One Father has employed the same Agent for both works affecting the salvation of the world through the same Word who made it in the beginning.”
St. Athanasius of Alexandria, On the Incarnation

Leo Tolstoy
“If there is a God and future life, there is truth and good, and man's highest happiness consists in striving to attain them. We must live, we must love, and we must believe that we live not only today on this scrap of earth, but have lived and shall live”
Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace

R.H. Tawney
“Calvin did for the bourgeoisie of the sixteenth century what Marx did for the proletariat of the nineteenth.”
RH Tawney

Pyotr Kropotkin
“This is the secret of wealth; find the starving and destitute, pay them half a crown, and make them produce five shillings worth in the day, amass a fortune by these means, and then increase it by some lucky hit, made with the help of the State.”
Peter Kropotkin, The Conquest of Bread

Simone Weil
“The capacity to pay attention to an afflicted person is something very rare, very difficult; it is nearly a miracle. It is a miracle. Nearly all those who believe they have this capacity do not. Warmth, movements of the heart, and pity are not sufficient.”
Simone Weil, Waiting for God
