“No nation deserves to exist if it permits itself to lose the stern and virile virtues; and this without regard to whether the loss is due to the growth of a heartless and all-absorbing commercialism, to prolonged indulgence in luxury and soft, effortless ease, or to the deification of a warped and twisted sentimentality.” IfsNationsGrowthLosesLossVirtueDeserveRegardDuesLuxuryEasePermitTwistedIndulgenceHeartlessAbsorbingSentimentalityEffortlessCommercialism Author:Theodore Roosevelt

“When I received the Nobel Prize, the only big lump sum of money I have ever seen, I had to do something with it. The easiest way to drop this hot potato was to invest it, to buy shares. I knew that World War II was coming and I was afraid that if I had shares which rise in case of war, I would wish for war. So I asked my agent to buy shares which go down in the event of war. This he did. I lost my money and saved my soul.” IfsWorldWayWarSoulBigsScienceFallLostWishFearLossMoneyCasesShareEventsHotAskingSavedMy SoulAgentsEaseWar Of The WorldsPrizeWorld War IiWorld War IPotatoesNobelLumpsNobel Prize Author:Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
“I think poetry can be a kind of secular way in which people can be led to approach the difficult parts of their life, where there's been loss, where there's sadness of a deep kind. If poetry can help people to be more at ease in expressing even to themselves a lot of the darkness and pain of ordinary human existence, then it's serving some kind of cultural role, perhaps more than a cultural role, perhaps it is serving something of a spiritual role.” PeopleIfsThinkingWayHumansKindHelpingPainSpiritualDifficultLossExistenceRolesDarknessSadnessApproachOrdinaryEaseServingSecularHuman Existence Author:Kevin Hart

“More frightening to me than any policy or politician is the ease with which the public is played for fools with words. The latest example is the 'Employee Freedom of Choice Act,' a bill that will do away with secret ballot elections among workers voting on whether to be represented by a union. It is an open invitation to intimidation - which is to say, loss of freedom of choice.” ChoicesLossSecretPolicyExampleFoolPoliticianElectionBillsUnionsWorkersEaseEmployeeVotingFrighteningInvitationsBallotsFreedom Of ChoiceIntimidation Author:Thomas Sowell
“As we peer into society's future, we -- you and I, and our government -- must avoid the impulse to live only for today, plundering for our own ease and convenience the precious resources of tomorrow.
