Quotes about Naivety

Religious enthusiasm among students is now an embarrassment; belief in the authority of the Bible and the deity of Jesus Christ is treated as naivety to be enlightened rather than life to be nourished. Scholars in the arts, letters, and sciences who show signs of Christian devotion are likely to be shrugged off as simplistic and eccentric.

— Malcolm Muggeridge

Men are as innocent as the morning to the unsuspicious.

— Henry David Thoreau
