Communism Is The Opiate Of The People.

Civilization Is Social Order Promoting Cultural Creation. Four Elements Constitute It: Economic Provision, Political Organization, Moral Tradition, And The Pursuit Of Knowledge And The Arts. It Begins Where Chaos And Insecurity End. For When Fear Is Overcome, Curiosity And Constructiveness Are Free, And Man Passes By Natural Impulse Towards The Understanding And Embellishment Of Life.

As Knowledge Grew, Fear Decreased; Men Thought Less Of Worshiping The Unknown, And More Of Overcoming It.

Science Without Philosophy, Facts Without Perspective And Valuation, Cannot Save Us From Havoc And Despair. Science Gives Us Knowledge, But Only Philosophy Can Give Us Wisdom.

The Experience Of The Past Lives Little Doubt That Every Economic System Must Sooner Or Later Rely Upon Some Form Of The Profit Motive To Stir Individuals And Groups To Productivity. Substitutes Like Slavery, Police Supervision, Or Ideological Enthusiasm Prove Too Unproductive, Too Expensive, Or Too Transient.

Philosophy Is Harmonized Knowledge Making A Harmonious Life; It Is The Self-discipline Which Lifts Us To Serenity And Freedom. Knowledge Is Power, But Only Wisdom Is Liberty.
