“The most beautiful conception of immortality of which I know, and certainly one that by contrast shows the utter vulgarity of Christian ideas, is set forth in Pindar's second Olympian: after three or six lives in which a man has lived with strict justice and perfect integrity, he passes beyond the tower of Cronus to the fair realm that cannot be reached by land or sea, where gentle breezes from a placid ocean blow forever on the fields of asphodel. For a description, see Pindar. If the beauty of great poetry can commend a religion, here you have it.” IfsKnowsMenIdeasShowsChristianBeautifulThreeJusticePerfectForeverSeaLandFieldsIntegrityOceanSixFairsBlowGentleImmortalityRealmsDescriptionConceptionContrastTowersStrictBreezeVulgarityGreat PoetOlympianGreat PoetryPlacid Author:Revilo P.

“The nature of men and of organized society dictates the maintenance in every field of action of the highest and purest standards of justice and of right dealing.... By justice the lawyer generally means the prompt, fair, and open application of impartial rules; but we call ours a Christian civilization, and a Christian conception of justice must be much higher. It must include sympathy and helpfulness and a willingness to forego self-interest in order to promote the welfare, happiness, and contentment of others and of the community as a whole.” MenMeanSelfWholeActionChristianOrderInterestCommunityJusticeFieldsHigherCivilizationHighestStandardsFairsLawyerWelfareOrganizedContentmentWillingnessConceptionApplicationSelf InterestMaintenancePromptsNature Of ManHelpfulness Author:Woodrow Wilson

“For Tibetans, the real strength of our struggle is truth - not size, money, or expertise. China is much bigger, richer, more powerful militarily, and has much better skill in diplomacy.

“Education Secretary Arne Duncan spurned the opportunity to condemn thousands of Wisconsin public school teachers for lying about being 'sick' and shutting down at least eight school districts across the state to attend capitol protests (many of whom dragged their students on a social justice field trip with them). Instead, Duncan defended teachers for 'doing probably the most important work in society.' Only striking government teachers could win federal praise for not doing their jobs.” ImportantStatesGovernmentSchoolJobsLyingOpportunityWinningSocialJusticeTeacherFieldsStudentsSickPraiseSocial JusticeEightProtestSecretaryPublic SchoolCapitolWisconsinSchool TeachersImportant WorkDuncanBeing SickSchool DistrictsShutting DownField Trip Author:Michelle Malkin
“The nature of the state is one thing, but there are other major challenges - what it will take to tackle the issues of social corruption, for example, social justice, and the economic system - and what are the future challenges when it comes to equality between the citizens, in particular in the field of the job market and equal opportunity for men and for women?
