Before catechisms can instill a proper humility, small children know the truth that their own existence has caused the world to bloom into being.

— Gregory Maguire

Next Quote

Brought up a Presbyterian, indoctrinated from the Catechism, and being naturally of an inquiring mind, I fell a ready prey to the logic of infidelity, as soon as I began to think for myself. But that which at first threatened to be the utter shipwreck of faith in God and the Bible was, under God's providence, over-ruled for good, and merely wrecked my confidence in human creed and systems of Bible misinterpretations.

— Charles Taze Russell
