Soren Kierkegaard
There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn't true the other is to refuse to believe what is true.
Soren Kierkegaard
Do it or don't do it - you will regret both.
Soren Kierkegaard
This age will die not as a result of some evil, but from a lack of passion.
Soren Kierkegaard

Soren Kierkegaard
Faith is the highest passion in a man.
Soren Kierkegaard
There are many people who reach their conclusions about life like schoolboys: they cheat their master by copying the answer out of a book without having worked the sum out for themselves.
Soren Kierkegaard
Backwards understood be only can but, forwards lived be must life.
Soren Kierkegaard
Christians remind me of schoolboys who want to look up the answers to their math problems in the back of the book rather than work them through.
