What kind of a God stands like Lee Iacocca at the end of an assembly line, driving his workers with a greedy 'More! More!' while the automobiles pile up in showrooms and on freeways and in used-car lots and finally junkyards, his only satisfaction the gross production figures at the end of every quarter?” WayKindChildrenSoulEndsUsedGrowthChurchLinesCarFiguresBirthLaborWorkersSatisfactionProductionsDrivingQuartersRight WayGreedyGrossAutomobileAssemblyProhibitionReproductionBirth ControlFreewaysPopulation GrowthAssembly LineUsed CarJunkyardShowroom Author:Nancy Mairs
“A State, in idea, is the opposite of a Church. A State regards classes, and not individuals; and it estimates classes, not by internal merit, but external accidents, as property, birth, etc. But a church does the reverse of this, and disregards all external accidents, and looks at men as individual persons, allowing no gradations of ranks, but such as greater or less wisdom, learning, and holiness ought to confer. A Church is, therefore, in idea, the only pure democracy.” MenLooksPersonsDoeIdeasStatesGovernmentIndividualChurchClassDemocracyGreaterOughtBirthPureOppositesRegardPropertyAccidentsMeritHolinessEtcInternalsAllowingReverseLook At MeDisregard Book:Golden Hours with Samuel Taylor Coleridge Source: Golden Hours with Samuel Taylor Coleridge
