It would always be disagreeable for me to go down to posterity as a man who made concessions in this field. I realise that man, in his imperfection, can commit innumerable errors— but to devote myself deliberately to error, that is something I cannot do. I shall never come personally to terms with the Christian lie. In acting as I do, I'm very far from the wish to scandalise. But I rebel when I see the very idea of Providence flouted in this fashion.

But I rebel when I see the very idea of Providence flouted in this fashion." in the context of "27 February 1942, quoted in Hitler's Table Talk, 1941–1944" to mean that wisdom is timeless.
