JOSEPH ERNEST RENAN French writer, historian, Orientalist, philosopher, rationalist and scholar (1823 - 1892) Blessed are the blind, for they know not enough to ask why.       - [Blindness] Man makes holy what he believes, as he makes beautiful what he loves.       - [Belief : Love] The man who obeys is nearly always better than the man who commands.       - [Obedience] To have common glories in the past, a common will in the present; to have done great things together; to wish to do greater; these are the essential conditions which make up a people.       - [People] One always retains the traces of one's origin.   [Fr., On garde toujours la marque de ses origines.]       - La Vie de Jesus [Ancestry] Last Revised: 2008 June 30 Copyright © 1999-2008 John C.
