As the terebinth and oak leave stumps when they are cut down, so the holy seed will be the stump in the land. - Isaiah Berlin

Few new truths have ever won their way against the resistance of established ideas save by being overstated.

For as the earth brings forth its sprouts And as the garden makes what is sown in it sprout, So will the Sovereign Lord Jehovah Cause righteousness and praise to sprout before all the nations.

Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
