More From Eric Liddell

The endless cycle of idea and action, endless invention, endless experiment, brings knowledge of motion, but not of stillness; knowledge of speech, but not of silence; knowledge of words, and ignorance of the word. all our knowledge brings us nearer to our ignorance, all our ignorance brings us nearer to death, but nearness to death no nearer to god. where is the life we have lost in living? where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge? where is the knowledge we have lost in information? the cycles of heaven in twenty centuries bring us farther from god and nearer to the dust.

Our obedience is god's pleasure when it proves that god is our treasure. this is good news, because it means very simply that the command to obey is the command to be happy in god. the commandments of god are only as hard to obey as the promises of god are hard to believe. the word of god is only as hard to obey as the beauty of god is hard to cherish.
Believe Mean Promise
Because of its concrete content, sense-certainty immediately appears as the richest kind of knowledge, indeed a knowledge of infinite wealth for which no bounds can be found, either when we reach out into space and time in which it is dispersed, or when we take a bit of this wealth, and by division enter into it. moreover, sense-certainty appears to be the truest knowledge ... but, in the event, this very certainty proves itself to be the most abstract and poorest truth. all that it says about what it knows is just that it is; and its truth contains nothing but the sheer being of the thing.

Spiritual Secret Obedience
While the dogmatist is harmful, the sceptic is useless ...; one is certain of knowing, the other of not knowing. what philosophy should dissipate is certainty, whether of knowledge or of ignorance. knowledge is not so precise a concept as is commonly thought. instead of saying 'i know this', we ought to say 'i more or less know something more or less like this'. ... knowledge in practical affairs has not the certainty or the precision of arithmetic.
Philosophy Ignorance Knowledge
In the age of revolution it is not knowledge that produces new wealth, but insight - insight into opportunities for discontinuous innovation. discovery is the journey; insight is the destination. you must become your own seer.
