Knowledge Worthless
Without God
“He who pursues any [field] of knowledge, however good and honorable
in itself, while he forgets God, is … emphatically a ‘fool’. He may be admired
by men, as a very prodigy of science, or philosophy, or literature, and may be
adorned with all the titles of human honor, and send down his name to future
ages with a halo of the light of this world around it; but in the eye of God, he
stands the object of deep and merited condemnation; and, while eulogized and
extolled on earth, is pitied and deplored in heaven.”
-- Ralph Wardlaw (1779-1853)
