“The seasick passenger on an ocean liner detests the good sailor who stalks past him 265 times a day grandly smoking a large, greasy cigar. In precisely the same way the democrat hates the man who is having a better time in the world. This is the origin of democracy. It is also the origin of Puritanism.” MenWorldWayPastHateDemocracyHe ManOceanDemocratSmokingSailorPassengersStalkingCigarPuritanism Author:H. L. Mencken

“Modern man has no real "value" for the ocean. All he has is the most crass form of egoist, pragmatic value for it. He treats it as a "thing" in the worst possible sense, to exploit it for the "good" of man. The man who believes things are there only by chance cannot give things a real value. But for the Christian the value of a thing is not in itself autonomously, but because God made it.” MenGivingBelieveMadeRealChristianFormValuesWaterChanceModernWorstHe ManOceanTreatsEnvironmentalMade ItExploitsPragmaticModern ManReal ValueCrass Author:Francis Schaeffer
