For Every Force Charged By God, May

There Are Four Different Theories Concerning Divine Providence; They Are All Ancient, Known From The Time Of The Prophets, When The True Law Was Revealed To Enlighten These Dark Regions.

An Ignorant Man Believes That The Whole Universe Only Exists For Him: As If Nothing Else Required Any Consideration. If, Therefore, Anything Happens To Him Contrary To His Expectation, He At Once Concludes That The Whole Universe Is Evil. If, However, He Would Take Into Consideration The Whole Universe, Form An Idea Of It, And Comprehend What A Small Portion He Is Of The Universe, He Will Find The Truth. There Are Many ... Passages In The Books Of The Prophets Expressing The Same Idea.

Truth Does Not Become More True By Virtue Of The Fact That The Entire World Agrees With It, Nor Less So Even If The Whole World Disagrees With It.

You Will Find That There Is No Other Difference Of Opinion As Regards Any Portions Of The Universe, Except That The Philosophers Believe In The Eternity Of The Universe And We Believe In The Creation. Note This.

Every Ignoramus Imagines That All That Exists, Exists With A View To His Individual Sake; It Is As If There Were Nothing That Exists Except Him. And If Something Happens To Him That Is Contrary To What He Wishes, He Makes The Trenchant Judgement That All That Exists Is An Evil.
