Ever since one man was a young ‘un, he has heard about the “WAY OF THE WORLD.”
Although the ‘way of the world’ was long ago thought to be only a figure of speech, years of living in this world has convinced the educated one differently.
(These quotes were researched and written down five or more years ago. They were only recently discovered and it was decided to share them.)
“More history is made by secret handshakes than by battles, bills and proclamations.”
—John Barth
“Friendship without freedom is as dull as love without enjoyment.”
–Witwoud Act 1, Scene 8
“The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum—even encourage the more critical and dissident views. That gives people the sense that there’s free thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of the debate.”
—Noam Chomsky
“When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace.”
—Jimi Hendrix
“The whole idea that people have a clue as to how the world works, is just a piece of laughable metaphysical colonialism perpetrated upon the wild country of time.”
—Lorrie Moore
“Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.”
—Martin Luther King Jr.
“By the time you figure out how the world really works, you’ve already lost about everything you’d hope to keep.”
—Paul Pope
“The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts.”
—Bertrand Russell
“Stories are in one way or another mirrors. We use them to explain to ourselves how the world works or how it doesn’t work. Like mirrors stories prepare us for the day to come. They distract us from the things in darkness.”
—Neil Gaiman
“We live in a fantasy world, a world of illusion. The great task in life is to find reality.”
—Iris Murdoch

And NOW: here’s a BONUS QUOTE!
“Don’t worry about the world coming to an end today. It’s already tomorrow in Australia.”
—Charles Schultz
DOES the reader believe he knows the ‘way of the world’?
It is not YET too late–although time is surely running out: there is still a LITTLE time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
—1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
