More From David Livingstone

The body of our saviour shat but our saviour shat not.
Body Saviour
Not only were the jews expecting the birth of a great king, a wise man and a saviour, but plato and socrates also spoke of the logos and of the universal wise man 'yet to come'. confucius spoke of 'the saint'; the sibyls, of a 'universal king'; the greek dramatist, of a saviour and redeemer to unloose man from the 'primal eldest curse'. all these were on the gentile side of the expectation. what separates christ from all men is that first he was expected; even the gentiles had a longing for a deliverer, or redeemer. this fact alone distinguishes him from all other religious leaders.
Wise Religious Kings
The saviour who flitted before the patriarchs through the fog of the old dispensation, and who spake in time past to the fathers by the prophets, articulate but unseen, is the same saviour who, on the open heights of the gospel, and in the abundant daylight of this new testament, speaks to us. still all along it is the same jesus, and that bible is from beginning to end all of it, the word of christ.
Bible Jesus Father
We should not be content to say that power has a need for such-and-such a discovery, such-and-such a form of knowledge, but we should add that the exercise of power itself creates and causes to emerge new objects of knowledge and accumulates new bodies of information. ... the exercise of power perpetually creates knowledge and, conversely, knowledge constantly induces effects of power. ... it is not possible for power to be exercised without knowledge, it is impossible for knowledge not to engender power.
Exercise Knowledge And Power Discovery
Man's mind is his basic tool of survival. life is given to him, survival is not. his body is given to him, its sustenance is not. his mind is given to him, its content is not. to remain alive, he must act, and before he can act he must know the nature and purpose of his action. he cannot obtain his food without a knowledge of food and of the way to obtain it. he cannot dig a ditch-or build a cyclotron-without a knowledge of his aim and of the means to achieve it. to remain alive, he must think

One problem with our current society is that we have an attitude towards education as if it is there to simply make you more clever, make you more ingenious... even though our society does not emphasize this, the most important use of knowledge and education is to help us understand the importance of engaging in more wholesome actions and bringing about discipline within our minds. the proper utilization of our intelligence and knowledge is to effect changes from within to develop a good heart.
