“I have issued the command, and I'll have anybody who utters but one word of criticism executed by a firing squad, that our war aim does not consist in reaching certain lines, but in the physical destruction of the enemy. Accordingly, I have placed my death's-head formation in readiness, for the present only in the East, with orders to them to send to death mercilessly and without compassion, men, women, and children of Polish derivation and language. Only thus shall we gain the living space which we need.

“Every individual is continually exerting himself to find out the most advantageous employment for whatever capital he can command. It is his own advantage, indeed, and not that of the society which he has in view. But the study of his own advantage naturally, or rather necessarily, leads him to prefer that employment which is most advantageous to society... He intends only his own gain, and he is in this, as in many other cases, led by an invisible hand to promote an end which was not part of his intention” EndsHandsIndividualViewsCasesStudyGainsAdvantageIntentionInvisibleCommandEmploymentInvisible HandWealth Of Nations Book:The Wealth of Nations (illustrated) Source: The Wealth of Nations (illustrated)
“God's command to have dominion over every living thing is a call to service, a test of responsibility, a rule of love, a cooperation with nature, whereas Satan's use of force for the sake of getting gain renders the earth uninhabitable. Brigham Young's views on the environment direct attention to man's responsibility to beautify the earth, to eradicate the influences of harmful substances, and to use restraint, that the earth may return to its paradisiacal glory.” MenMayUseEarthYoungForceViewsAttentionResponsibilityEnvironmentInfluenceReturnGloryGainsDirectTestsSakeCommandSubstanceSatanCooperationRestraintLiving ThingsDominionUse Of Force Book:Brother Brigham challenges the Saints Source: Brother Brigham challenges the Saints
“The scientific value of truth is not, however, ultimate or absolute. It rests partly on practical, partly on aesthetic interests. As our ideas are gradually brought into conformity with the facts by the painful process of selection,-for intuition runs equally into truth and into error, and can settle nothing if not controlled by experience,-we gain vastly in our command over our environment. This is the fundamental value of natural science” IfsIdeasFactsRunningScienceValuesProcessInterestNaturalEnvironmentTruth IsGainsUltimateAbsolutesFundamentalsErrorsPainfulIntuitionPracticalsCommandSettlingConformityControlledAestheticSelectionOur EnvironmentNatural Science Book:The Sense of Beauty Source: The Sense of Beauty
