The world may be better seen as God's process for forming minds than as a trial
Drawn from what Thomas Robert Malthus said
What Thomas Robert Malthus actually said
- Thomas Robert Malthus English economist and cleric (1766 to 1834)
I should be inclined, therefore, as I have hinted before, to consider the world and this life as the mighty process of God, not for the trial, but for the creation and formation of mind, a process necessary to awaken inert, chaotic matter into spirit, to sublimate the dust of the earth into soul, to elicit an ethereal spark from the clod of clay.
