“Any political movement directed against any body of our fellow-citizens because of their religious creed is a grave offense against American principles and American institutions. It is a wicked thing either to support or oppose a man because of the creed he possesses. . . . Such a movement directly contravenes the spirit of the Constitution itself.” MenStatesBodyPoliticalSpiritChurchReligiousPrinciplesSupportMovementCitizensConstitutionFellowsInstitutionsGravesWickedCreedsOffensePolitical MovementsWicked Things Book:Fear God and Take Your Own Part Source: Fear God and Take Your Own Part
“The world was arrogant and self-satisfied, but behind all this confidence there was an uneasy sense of impending disaster. The old creeds, both religious and political, were largely in the process of dissolution, but we did not realise the fact, and therefore did not look for new foundations.” WorldLooksSelfFactsPoliticalProcessReligiousBehindsFoundationDisasterSatisfiedRealisingArrogantCreedsUneasyDissolution Author:John Buchan
“Any extreme political creed brought only darkness in the long run; it lit up nothing.

“Adam Smith's was a real universalism in intent. Laissez Faire was intended to establish a world community as well as a natural harmony of interests within each nation... But the "children of darkness" were able to make good use of his creed. A dogma which was intended to guarantee the economic freedom of the individual became the "ideology" of vast corporate structures of a later period of capitalism, used by them, and still used, to prevent a proper political control of their power.” WorldWellsChildrenStillsRealUseAblePoliticalUsedPoliticsIndividualNationsInterestCommunityNaturalDarknessEconomyEconomicPeriodsCapitalismHarmonyStructureIdeologyCorporateLiberalismGuaranteesAdamCreedsDogmaLaissez FaireEconomic FreedomUniversalismLaissez Faire Capitalism Author:Reinhold Niebuhr

“Ultimately, of course, there is no excuse for being fat in this culture. It's the one last prejudice we allow ourselves, the final frontier of acceptable segregation.
