“Few people can see God, and it seems an even bolder mind to see the Devil. Active evil is more incomprehensible than active good, and so it ought to be.”

“Active Evil is better than Passive Good.”

William Blake (1757–1827) English Romantic poet and artist

“Just as we say “listening and hearing,” “looking and seeing,” so we ought to have two expressions to distinguish active reading from passive.”

Georges Duhamel (1884–1966) French writer

“One sees more devils than vast hell can hold”

William Shakespeare A Midsummer Night's Dream

“There is so much goodness in this world than evil. Even the devil himself experience some worse days (nightmares).”

Mwanandeke Kindembo (1996) Congolese author

“To an active mind, indolence is more painful than labor.”

Edward Gibbon (1737–1794) English historian and Member of Parliament

“It is better to teach a few things perfectly than many things indifferently, and an overloaded curriculum is useless. The object of instruction is not to produce technicians, but good active minds.”

André Maurois (1885–1967) French writer

“A perfectly evil Devil makes even less sense than a perfect God.”

Anne Rice (1941) American writer

“An active faith can give thanks for a promise even though it be not yet performed, knowing that God's bonds are as good as ready money.”

Matthew Henry (1662–1714) Theologician from Wales

“People love chopping wood. In this activity one immediately sees results.”

Albert Einstein (1879–1955) German-born physicist and founder of the theory of relativity
