“As our planet takes action to cast out its manmade poisons and heal its man-caused wounds, many human inhabitants will no doubt give way to fear. Many will cling to seemingly powerful we're-God's-chosen-people religions, hoping that by so doing they will be saved from the wrath of a Vengeful God (not recognizing that the approaching "vengeance" will in reality be man's own actions coming back at him - and not recognizing that the Infinite Universal Power is far more than the narrow-minded gatekeeper of an exclusive Spiritual Country Club).” PeopleMenWayGivingHumansCountryRealityActionEarthSpiritualPowerfulDoubtPlanetsUniversalInfiniteCastsClubsWoundsSavedHealChosenPoisonNo DoubtRecognizingVengeanceComing BackWrathExclusiveOur PlanetNarrow-mindedVengefulGatekeepersCountry Clubs Author:Benjamin Hoff
“There is, indeed, a most dangerous passage in the history of a democratic people. When the taste for physical gratifications among them has grown more rapidly than their education and their experience of free institutions, the time will come when men are carried away and lose all self-restraint at the sight of new possessions they are about to obtain. In their intense and exclusive anxiety to make a fortune they lose sight of the close connection that exists between the private fortune of each and the prosperity of all.” PeopleMenSelfLosesDangerousTasteAnxietyConnectionsSightInstitutionsFortuneDemocraticProsperityPossessionIntensePassagesConsumerismRestraintExclusiveGratificationOverconsumptionCarried AwaySelf Restraint Author:Alexis de Tocqueville
