“...our societies appear to be intent on immediate consumption rather than on investment for the future. We are piling up enormous debts and exploiting the natural environment in a manner which suggests that we have no real sense of any worthwhile future. Just as a society which believes in the future saves in the present in order to invest in the future, so a society without belief spends everything now and piles up debts for future generations to settle. "Spend now and someone else will pay later."” BelieveRealOrderBeliefNaturalPayEnvironmentGenerationsFutureInvestmentDebtEnormousSettlingOur SocietyWorthwhileConsumptionFuture GenerationNatural Environment Author:Lesslie Newbigin
“I have tried to resign myself, and to console myself; and that, I hope, I may have done imperfectly; but what I cannot firmly settle in my mind is, that the end will absolutely come. I hold her hand in mine, I hold her heart in mine, I see her love for me, alive in all its strength. I cannot shut out a pale lingering shadow of belief that she will be spared.” LoveMindHeartMayEndsDoneHandsBeliefAliveMinesShadowSettlingPaleConsoleLingering Book:The Personal History of David Copperfield Source: The Personal History of David Copperfield
