“Since freedom is not a fixed thing that can be grasped and held once for all, but a growth, any particular society, such as our own, always appears partly free and partly unfree. In so far as it favors, in every child, the development of his highest possibilities, it is free, but where it falls short of this it is not.” ChildrenFallGrowthFreedomPossibilityParticularDevelopmentHighestFavorsFixedUnfree Book:Two Major Works: Social Organization.

“But though Usury is in itself immoral, and justly condemned by every ethical code, its chief and worst defect in the particular case we are now examining, the growth of Capitalism and its increasing proletariat, is the centralization of irresponsible control over the lives of men: the putting power over the proletariat into the hands of a few who can direct the loans of currency and credit without which that proletariat could not be fed and clothed and maintained in work.” MenWisdomHandsPoliticsGrowthCasesEconomyWorstParticularCapitalismDirectCreditChiefsCodeLiberalismFedsEthicalCurrencyDefectsImmoralLoanIrresponsibleExaminingProletariatUsuryCentralization Book:The Crisis Of Civilization Source: The Crisis Of Civilization
“The life of hope, then, is shot through with social influences at every level. We learn to formulate ideals in tandem with others. We pursue particular hopes, sometimes succeeding and sometimes failing, in the company of those we love. And as we develop habits of hope and the hopefulness which helps us weather our trials, we reach out to others, inspiring them, sharing our own hopes with them, and contributing our abilities as best we can to foster the growth of agency.” SometimesHelpingSocialGrowthAbilityLevelsCompanyFailingInfluenceParticularHabitSucceedShotsIdealsTrialsWeatherPursueAgencyReach OutContributingThose We LoveHopefulnessTandem Author:Patrick Shade
“At times it may seem that our trials are focused on areas of our lives and parts of our souls with which we seem least able to cope. Since personal growth is an intended outcome of these challenges, it should come as no surprise that the trials can be very personal-almost laser guided to our particular needs or weaknesses.” NeedsShouldMaySoulSeemsAbleGrowthChallengesOur LivesParticularWeaknessAreasPersonal GrowthSurpriseFocusedTrialsOutcomesLasers Author:Paul V.

“There is a strange fact about the human mind, a fact that differentiates the mind sharply from the body. The body is limited in ways that the mind is not. One sign of this is that the body does not continue indefinitely to grow in strength and develop in skill and grace. By the time most people are thirty years old, their bodies are as good as they will ever be; in fact, many persons' bodies have begun to deteriorate by that time. But there is no limit to the amount of growth and development that the mind can sustain. The mind does not stop growing at any particular age.” PeopleWayYearsMindHumansPersonsDoeFactsBodyAgeGrowsGrowthGraceGrowingParticularStrangeDevelopmentAmountSkillsLimitsThirtyHuman MindThirty YearsDifferentiateThirty Years Old Author:Mortimer Adler
