Engaging Minds Quotes

“One problem with our current society is that we have an attitude towards education as if it is there to simply make you more clever, make you more ingenious ...

The proper utilization of our intelligence and knowledge is to effect changes from within to develop a good heart.”

— René Descartes

“Others are engaging even in an eco- type of terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves. So there are plenty of ingenious minds out there that are at work finding ways in which they can wreak terror upon other nations. It's real, and that's the reason why we have to intensify our efforts, and that's why this is so important.”

— William Cohen

“I realized that, instead of moving people closer to a salvation decision, an answer can push them further away. Rather than engaging their minds or urging them to consider an alternative perspective, an answer can give them ammunition for future attacks against the gospel.”

— Randy Newman
