“The saying of John Peale Bishop is worth recalling, that the South excelled in two things which the French deem essential to civilization: a code of manners and a native cuisine. Both are apt to suffer when life is regarded as a means to something else. Efficiency and charm are mortal enemies, and Southern charm indubitably derives from a carelessness about the efficient aspects of life.” MeanTwoLife IsSufferingEnemyCivilizationEssentialsAspectSouthMortalsMannersCodeCharmTwo ThingsNativeSouthernEfficientEfficiencyBishopsCuisineAspects Of LifeCarelessnessMortal Enemies Author:Richard M.

“We are now going to the Lamanites, to whom we intend to be messengers of instruction... We will show them that in consequence of their transgressions a curse has been inflicted upon them - in the darkness of their skins. We will have intermarriages with them, they marrying our young women, and we taking their young squaws to wife. By these means it is the will of the Lord that the curse of their color shall be removed and they restored to their pristine beauty.” MeanHas BeensShowsYoungLordDarknessWifeColorConsequenceSkinsCurseNativeInstructionNative AmericanYoung WomenMessengersMarryingPolygamyTransgressionPristineIntermarriage Author:Brigham Young
“The heroes in paganism correspond exactly to the saints in popery, and holy dervises in MAHOMETANISM. The place of, HERCULES, THESEUS, HECTOR, ROMULUS, is now supplied by DOMINIC, FRANCIS, ANTHONY, and BENEDICT. Instead of the destruction of monsters, the subduing of tyrants, the defence of our native country; whippings and fastings, cowardice and humility, abject submission and slavish obedience, are become the means of obtaining celestial honours among mankind.” MeanCountryMankindHumilityHeroHolyDestructionSaintMonstersObedienceNativeHonourTyrantsCowardiceSubmissionDefencePaganismCelestialFastingObtainingHectorTheseusNative CountryRomulus Book:Delphi Complete Works of David Hume (Illustrated) Source: Delphi Complete Works of David Hume (Illustrated)
