“As the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom, so the denial of God is the height of foolishness.”
“The fear of God is not the beginning of wisdom. The fear of God is the death of wisdom. Skepticism and doubt lead to study and investigation, and investigation is the beginning of wisdom.”
“I have always felt that doubt was the beginning of wisdom, and the fear of God was the end of wisdom.”
“Love is the foolishness of men, and the wisdom of God.”
“Wisdom begins with reverence for God."No God, no wisdom (witness your local university).”
“All gods who receive homage are cruel. All gods dispense suffering without reason. Otherwise they would not be worshipped. Through indiscriminate suffering men know fear and fear is the most divine emotion. It is the stones for altars and the beginning of wisdom. Half gods are worshipped in wine and flowers. Real gods require blood.”
