When The Freedom They Wished For Most

Theories That Go Counter To The Facts Of Human Nature Are Foredoomed.

The Old Testament Is The Record Of Men's Conviction That God Speaks Directly To Men.

In Every Civilization, Life Grows Easier. Men Grow Lazier In Consequence. We Have A Picture Of What Happened To The Individual Greek. (i Cannot Look At History, Or At Any Human Action, Except As I Look At The Individual.) The Greeks Had Good Food, Good Witty Talk, Pleasant Dinner Parties; And They Were Content. When The Individual Man Had Reached That Condition In Athens, When The Thought Not Of Giving To The State But Of What The State Could Give To Him, Athens' Freedom Was Doomed.

The Mind Knows Only What Lies Near The Heart.

Old Ideas Are Continually Being Slain By New Facts. There Is Nothing Stable In The Conclusions Of The Mind, And It Is Impossible That There Ever Should Be Unless We Hold That The Universe Is Made To The Measure Of The Human Mind, An Assumption For Which Nothing In The Past Gives Any Warrant.
