As The Horsepower In Modern Automobiles Steadily

Democracy Is The Only System That Persists In Asking The Powers That Be Whether They Are The Powers That Ought To Be.

Agnosticism Is A Perfectly Respectable And Tenable Philosophical Position; It Is Not Dogmatic And Makes No Pronouncements About The Ultimate Truths Of The Universe. It Remains Open To Evidence And Persuasion; Lacking Faith, It Nevertheless Does Not Deride Faith. Atheism, On The Other Hand, Is As Unyielding And Dogmatic About Religious Belief As True Believers Are About Heathens. It Tries To Use Reason To Demolish A Structure That Is Not Built Upon Reason.

A Winner Knows How Much He Still Has To Learn, Even When He Is Considered An Expert By Others; A Loser Wants To Be Considered An Expert By Others Before He Has Learned Enough To Know How Little He Knows.

Patriotism Is Proud Of A Country's Virtues And Eager To Correct Its Deficiencies; It Also Acknowledges The Legitimate Patriotism Of Other Countries, With Their Own Specific Virtues. The Pride Of Nationalism, However, Trumpets Its Country's Virtues And Denies Its Deficiencies, While It Is Contemptuous Toward The Virtues Of Other Countries. It Wants To Be, And Proclaims Itself To Be, "the Greatest," But Greatness Is Not Required Of A Country; Only Goodness Is.

Skepticism Is Not An End In Itself; It Is A Tool For The Discovery Of Truths.
