“We often wonder that certain men and women are left by God to the commission of sins that shock us. We wonder how, under the temptation of a single hour, they fall from the very heights of virtue and of honor into sin and shame. The fact is that there are no such falls as these, or there are next to none. These men and women are those who have dallied with temptation--have exposed themselves to the influence of it, and have been weakened and corrupted by it.” MenHas BeensFactsCertainFallNextLeftHoursSinWonderVirtueInfluenceHonorMen And WomenShameTemptationHeightShockExposed Author:J.

“Recognition for a job well done is high on the list of motivating influences for all people; more important in many instances than compensation itself. When someone is promoted, a promotion that everyone could see coming because of an excellent record, the entire department is stimulated. For it is clear, then, that promotions are based on merit. A promotion that seems to come out of the blue, which is always the case when no one knows what the next fellow is doing, causes nothing but resentment and a further weakening of the will to work.” PeopleKnowsWellsImportantDoneSeemsJobsNextCausesCasesClearRecordsInfluencePraiseBlueFellowsListsInstanceRecognitionExcellentMeritDepartmentResentmentPromotionCompensationWell DoneWeakeningJob Well Done Author:John Moulder Wilson

“For the last 250 years or so, secularists have waited patiently for the fulfilment of their prediction that religion would die out in the next generation or two. But religious people have been singularly uncooperative, and new strategies have developed for controlling this blight on human progress. If religion won't "wither away" as philosopher Richard Rorty has wished, then perhaps it can be privatized and thereby removed from influence on public life‚ - sort of like localizing an outbreak of the plague.” PeopleIfsYearsHumansHas BeensTwoLastsDiesNextReligiousProgressGenerationsInfluenceStrategyPhilosopherPredictionsPlagueNext GenerationPublic LifeFulfilmentHuman ProgressBlightOutbreaksUncooperative Author:Daniel Taylor
“And if you look at society, the way it works, they are creating, from cradle to grave, left-brain prisoners. To advance in this society, you have to be good at passing exams in school, which are taking in left-brain information overwhelmingly. Then you go to the next level, and so on so that by the time you reach any level of significant influence in society or the institutions of society, you are fundamentally locked into your left brain. Or at least the majority of people are.” PeopleIfsWayLooksSchoolNextLeftLevelsBrainInfluenceInformationCreatingInstitutionsMajorityBe GoodSignificantGravesPassingPassingsPrisonerLockedCradleExamNext LevelThis SocietyLeft Brain Author:David Icke
