From G. K. Chesterton's Orthodoxy -
Christianity preaches an obviously unattractive idea, such as original sin; but when we wait for its results, they are pathos and brotherhood, and a thunder of laughter and pity; for only with original sin can we at once pity the beggar and distrust the king.
Me: One could draw all manner of applications from this quote, but perhaps the most relevant would be to distrust all would-be "messiahs." There are none, except Christ alone. All who suppose otherwise will have their hopes and dreams dashed.
