“Our Twentieth Century has proved to be more cruel than preceding centuries, and the first fifty years have not erased all its horrors. Our world is rent asunder by those same old cave-age emotions of greed, envy, lack of control, mutual hostility which have picked up in passing respectable pseudonyms like class struggle, radical conflict, struggle of the masses, trade-union disputes.” WorldYearsFirstsAgePoliticsEmotionClassStruggleEconomyCenturyHorrorConflictMassTradeUnionsGreedEnvyPassingPassingsRadicalLiberalismFiftyMutualOur World20th CenturyCavesDisputesHostilityRespectableClass StruggleTrade UnionsPseudonymsLack Of Control Author:Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
“I think that what started out as a European Union originally was probably a really wonderful and world-changing idea, the idea of a kind of cooperation and interdependence between countries. But the idea that individualization would work on common ground, not on conflict, not against each other, but to find how each benefitted from the other I thought was an incredibly hopeful and positive possibility.” ThinkingWorldKindIdeasCountryCommonWonderfulPossibilityConflictUnionsHopefulCooperationEuropean UnionInterdependenceCommon GroundIndividualization Author:Tavis Smiley
“Prayer by its nature is communion and union of man with God; by its action it is the reconciliation of man with God, the mother and daughter of tears, a bridge for crossing temptations, a wall of protection from afflictions, a crushing of conflicts, boundless activity, the spring of virtues, the source of spiritual gifts, invisible progress, food of the soul, the enlightening of the mind, an axe for despair, a demonstration of hope, release from sorrow, the wealth of monks.” MenMindSoulActionSpiritualMotherPeaceWealthPrayerVirtueProgressTearsSourceWallSorrowActivityConflictDespairSpringDaughterUnionsProtectionInvisibleTemptationReleaseBridgesCrushCommunionAfflictionMonkReconciliationEnlighteningDemonstrationBoundlessCrossingsMother And DaughterSpiritual Gifts Author:Ignatius Bryanchaninov
“The Soviet Union came apart along ethnic lines. The most important factor in this breakup was the disinclination of Slavic Ukraine to continue under a regime dominated by Slavic Russia. Yugoslavia came apart also, beginning with a brutal clash between Serbia and Croatia, here again 'nations' with only the smallest differences in genealogy; with, indeed, practically a common language. Ethnic conflict does not require great differences; small will do.” DoeImportantLanguageNationsDifferencesLinesCommonConflictUnionsRussiaFactorsBreakupSovietRegimesBrutalSmallestSoviet UnionUkraineClashEthnic ConflictGenealogySerbiaYugoslaviaCommon LanguageCroatia Author:Daniel Patrick Moynihan
