“The effect of the corporation, under the prevailing policy of the free, go-as-you-please method of organization and management, has been to drive the bulk of our people, other than farmers, out of property ownership; and, if allowed to go on as present, it will keep them out... The paramount problem is not how to stop the growth of property, and the building up of wealth, but how to manage it so that every species of property, like a healthy growing tree will spread its roots deeply and widely in the soil of a popular proprietorship.” PeopleIfsHas BeensProblemPoliticsGrowthWealthEconomyGrowingTreeEffectsPolicyBuildingGoes OnPleaseHealthyRootsOrganizationManagementMethodPropertySpeciesSpreadManageCorporationsSoilLiberalismFarmersOwnershipPrevailingParamountBuilding UpProperty OwnershipGrowing Tree Author:Peter S.

“I really gave up being passionate about politics 10, 15, 20 years ago, because I think finally that there were forces in the country that are larger than politics itself. And so I find it a fascinating game, this wonderful stuff goes on in terms of watching the game. But If you get to down it, look, I`m going to root for someone, I`ll root at a football game, not for politicians.” IfsThinkingYearsLooksCountryGamesForceStuffTermWonderfulFootballGoes OnPoliticianYears AgoRootsPassionateFascinatingGave UpFootball Game Author:Norman Mailer
“We are dying of preconceptions, outworn rules, decaying flags, venomous religions, and sentimentalities. We need a new world. We've wrenched up all the old roots. The old men have no roots. They don't know it. They just go on talking and flailing away and falling down on the young with their tons of dead weight and their power. For the power is still there, in their life-in-death. But the roots are dead, and the land is poisoned for miles around them.” KnowsMenWorldNeedsStillsYoungFallTalkingPowerLandDyingGoes OnRootsWeightMilesOld ManNew WorldFlagsFalling DownSentimentalityPreconceptionsVenomousFlailing Book:The Inland Island Source: The Inland Island
“To the young mind every thing is individual, stands by itself. By and by, it finds how to join two things and see in them one nature; then three, then three thousand; and so, tyrannized over by its own unifying instinct, it goes on tying things together, diminishing anomalies, discovering roots running under ground whereby contrary and remote things cohere and flower out from one stem.” ThinkingMindTwoRunningTogetherYoungThreeIndividualFlowerGoes OnThousandRootsInstinctContraryTwo ThingsThoughtfulDiscoveringStemUnifyingAnomaliesYoung Minds Author:Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Tolerance has been a very important feature of Christianity from its very roots, despite all the other things that have gone on since. And that, I think, must be the global perspective. Tolerance implies more than saying, "Well, let the Muslims go on with what they are doing." It also means trying to learn something from them and adding that to your own tradition. That is the attitude I think needs to inform the global citizen of the future.” ThinkingNeedsTryingWellsMeanHas BeensImportantAttitudeChristianityGonePerspectiveGoes OnCitizensTraditionRootsToleranceDespiteFeaturesGlobal Citizen Author:Ninian Smart
“Consider a tree for a moment. As beautiful as trees are to look at, we don't see what goes on underground - as they grow roots. Trees must develop deep roots in order to grow strong and produce their beauty. But we don't see the roots. We just see and enjoy the beauty. In much the same way, what goes on inside of us is like the roots of a tree.” WayLooksMomentsBeautifulOrderStrongGrowsEnjoyTreeProduceGoes OnRootsPlant A TreeDeep RootsBeautiful TreesStrong Roots Author:Joyce Meyer
