Heresy Trial

Famous quotes containing the words heresy and/or trial:

“A heresy can spring only from a system that is in full vigor.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)

“Every political system is an accumulation of habits, customs, prejudices, and principles that have survived a long process of trial and error and of ceaseless response to changing circumstances. If the system works well on the whole, it is a lucky accident—the luckiest, indeed, that can befall a society.”
—Edward C. Banfield (b. 1916)
