“For the first time ever we are capable of removing abject poverty, illiteracy and the diseases of poverty from the human condition.

“Apologys for self-evident Truths can never have any effect on those who have so little Sense as to deny them. They are the Foundation of all Reasoning, and the only just Bottom on which Men can proceed in convincing one another of the Truth: and by consequence whoever is capable of denying them, is not in a condition to be informed.” MenLittlesSelfAtheismConditionsEffectsCapableConsequenceFoundationBottomDenyPositive AtheismReasoningEvidentConvincing Author:Anthony Collins
“What a proof of the Divine tenderness is there in the human heart itself, which is the organ and receptacle oft so many sympathies! When we consider how exquisite are those conditions by which it is even made capable of so much suffering--the capabilities of a child's heart, of a mother's heart,--what must be the nature of Him who fashioned its depths, and strung its chords.” HumansHeartChildrenMadeMotherSufferingConditionsDivineCapableDepthProofCapabilityOrgansTendernessHuman HeartChordsExquisite Author:Edwin Hubbel Chapin
“If there ever was a pursuit which stultified itself by its very conditions, it is the pursuit of pleasure as the all-sufficing end of life. Happiness cannot come to any man capable of enjoying true happiness unless it comes as the sequel to duty well and honestly done. To do that duty you need to have more than one trait. From the greatest to the smallest, happiness and usefulness are largely found in the same soul, and the joy of life is won in its deepest and truest sense only by those who have not shirked life's burdens.” IfsMenNeedsWellsSoulEndsDoneLife IsJoyFoundEnjoyPleasureConditionsDutyCapableBurdenHonestlyPursuitTraitsSmallestTrue HappinessTruestUsefulnessLife HappinessJoy Of LifeSequelsEnd Of Life Author:Theodore Roosevelt

“The Marxist combination of materialism and determinism is fatally anti-humanistic. It denies a consciousness, a mind, that is independent of material conditions and class relations. It denies a will and volition that are capable of shaping the course of history. It denies an individuality that is not reducible to class. It denies both the idea and the reality of freedom, a freedom that is something more than the "bourgeois" freedom to buy and sell. It denies a morality that transcends class interests. And it denies the spirituality of man.” MenMindIdeasRealitySpiritualityCoursesInterestFreedomConsciousnessClassConditionsMaterialsMoralityCapableRelationIndependentSellsIndividualityDenyCombinationMaterialismMarxismBourgeoisMarxistDeterminismHumanisticVolition Book:On Looking Into the Abyss: Untimely Thoughts on Culture and Society Source: On Looking Into the Abyss: Untimely Thoughts on Culture and Society
“The Gospel does not require anything good that man must furnish: not a good heart, not a good disposition, no improvement of his condition, no godliness, no love either of God or men…….. It plants love into his heart and makes him capable of all good works. It demands nothing, but it gives all.

“When we think that the machine will harm man, then it is perhaps because we are not yet capable of judging the rapid changes it has brought about. We hardly feel at home in this landscape of mines and power stations. We have just moved into this new home that we have not even finished yet.

“Pain - physical, emotional and spiritual pain - is more than just a condition that needs to be silenced, numbed or "fixed." Pain in all its forms is also a message, a kind of distress signal to our hearts and minds. There are times when it's really important to tune into that message and just listen to it. When we don't listen, our understanding of the world gets more and more distorted, and we become capable of doing things we very often regret.” WorldNeedsMindHeartKindImportantPainSpiritualFormUnderstandingConditionsEmotionalRegretMessagesCapableFixedTunesDistressSignalsHeart And MindJust Listen Author:Karyn Kusama

“I'm very interested in buildings that adapt to changes in climatic conditions according to the seasons, buildings capable of responding to our physical and psychological needs in the way that clothing does. We don't turn on the air-conditioning as we walk through the streets in high summer. Instead, we change the character of the clothing by which we are protected. Layering and changeability: this is the key.” WayNeedsDoeCharacterTurnsChangeWalksAirStreetsConditionsBuildingKeysSummerCapableSeasonsArchitecturePsychologicalClothingsProtectedAdaptationTurn-onConditioningRespondingAdaptabilityAir ConditioningPsychological Needs Author:Glenn Murcutt
