As always, consider visiting Jewish World Review!

Here are a couple of passages that I like from Eric

---

Fair play is primarily not blaming others for anything that is wrong with us.

---

The rule seems to be that those who find no difficulty in deceiving themselves are easily deceived by others. They are easily persuaded and led.

---

We all have private ails. The troublemakers are they who need public cures for their private ails.

---

A doctrine insulates the devout not only against the realities around them but also against their own selves. The fanatical believer is not conscious of his envy, malice, pettiness and dishonesty. There is a wall of words between his consciousness and his real self.

I read "The True Believer" at least 30 years ago. I still think of it as one of the better books that I have read. Very thought-provoking.
