“I think that there’s going to be a rush to judgment on civil liberties, and a clamping down, a suspension of our democratic rights.

“I believe with all my heart that civilization has produced nothing finer than a man or woman who thinks and practices true tolerance. Some one has said that most of us don't think, we just occasionally rearrange our prejudices. And I suspect that even today, with all the progress we have made in liberal thought, the quality of true tolerance is as rare as the quality of mercy. That men of all creeds have fundamental common objectives is a fact one must learn by the process of education. How to work jointly toward these objectives must be learned by experience.” ThinkingMenBelieveHeartArtMadeSaidFactsTodayBeliefI BelieveProcessCommonEducationQualityPracticeProgressMy HeartCivilizationMercyPrejudiceFundamentalsToleranceObjectivesHaving FunSuspectsCreeds Author:Frank Knox

I believe that the next half century will determine if we will advance the cause of Christian civilization or revert to the horrors of brutal paganism.

“Most of us still believe in the intrinsic value of nature, but I think the first century of the environmental/conservation movement demonstrated pretty clearly that this value cannot compel a civilization-wide shift toward sustainable behavior and enterprise when stacked up against the urgent economic and social needs of 7 billion people, most of whom are struggling to get out of poverty.” PeopleThinkingNeedsFirstsBelieveStillsValuesSocialPovertyStruggleEconomicCenturyMovementCivilizationBehaviorEnvironmentalWideBillionsEnterpriseConservationUrgentIntrinsic Value Author:Edward Norton
“I want to take the word Christianity back to Christ himself, back to that mighty heart whose pulse seems to throb through the world today, that endless fountain of charity out of which I believe has come all true progress and all civilization that deserves the name. I go back to that great Spirit which contemplated a sacrifice for the whole of humanity. That sacrifice is not one of exclusion, but of an infinite and endless and joyous inclusion. And I thank God for it.” WorldWantBelieveHeartWholeSeemsSpiritHumanityNamesI BelieveChristChristianityProgressSacrificeCivilizationDeserveInfiniteCharityEndlessThank GodInclusionFountainPulseJoyousExclusionGreat Spirit Author:Julia Ward Howe
