“America can restore its strengths as the world-respected land of opportunity by returning to open-society principles. An open society invests in people and new ideas, rewards talent and hard work, values dialogue and learns from dissent, operates to high standards with transparent information, looks for common ground, sees problems as opportunities for creative change, and encourages those who are fortunate to help others get the same chance, because service is the highest ideal. With such standards in mind, America the Beautiful can return to its admired role as America the Principled.” PeopleWorldMindLooksIdeasHardHelpingProblemAmericaBeautifulValuesOpportunityChanceCommonPrinciplesRolesCreativeLandTalentInformationHard WorkReturnHighestStandardsIdealsRewardsHelping OthersDialogueFortunateNew IdeasTransparentDissentCommon GroundHigh StandardsPrincipledLand Of OpportunityTalent And Hard Work Book:America the Principled: 6 Opportunities for Becoming a Can-Do Nation Once Again Source: America the Principled: 6 Opportunities for Becoming a Can-Do Nation Once Again
“Die Hard represents the class of modern action pictures and the standard by which they must be judged. Few films falling into the "mindless entertainment" genre have as much going for them as this movie. Not only is it a thrill-a-minute ride, but it has one of the best film villains in recent memory, a hero everyone can relate to, dialogue that crackles with wit, and a lot of very impressive pyrotechnics.” HardActionFilmDiesFallMemoriesClassModernMinutesHeroStandardsEntertainmentWitDialogueRelateGenreJudgedVillainThrillImpressiveMindlessBest FilmVery ImpressivePyrotechnics Author:James Berardinelli
“If a single one of these gentlemen is correct, if a believer of any type is right, the essential truth for man, the real drama of life, in comparison with which the secular story of the race, is a puppet-show and the unfolding of the universe is a triviality, is the dialogue of the immortal soul and the eternal God. Yet it seems that there is nothing in the world so hard to discover as this. The theory refutes itself.” IfsMenWorldRealSoulHardStoriesShowsSeemsUniverseRaceAtheismTheoryTypeDramaEssentialsEternalBelieverDialogueGentlemanComparisonImmortalSecularUnfoldingPuppetsTrivialityImmortal SoulPuppet Shows Author:Joseph McCabe
