“In the last few decades entire new categories of waste have come to plague and menace the American scene. Pollution is growing at a rapid rate. Pollution destroys beauty and menaces health. It cuts down on efficiency, reduces property values and raises taxes. Almost all these wastes and pollutions are the result of activities carried on for the benefit of man. A prime national goal must be an environment that is pleasing to the senses and healthy to live in. Our Government is already doing much in this field. We have made significant progress. But more must be done.” MenMadeDoneGovernmentLastsValuesGoalResultsBeautyEnvironmentCuttingGrowingProgressFieldsHealthySceneActivityTaxesWasteBenefitsRaisesPropertyRateDecadesSensesSignificantPrimeCategoriesPollutionEfficiencyPlagueRapidsMenacePollution Control Author:Lyndon B.

“Private property creates for the individual a sphere in which he is free of the state. It sets limits to the operation of the authoritarian will. It allows other forces to arise side by side with and in opposition to political power. It thus becomes the basis of all those activities that are free from violent interference on the part of the state. It is the soil in which the seeds of freedom are nurtured and in which the autonomy of the individual and ultimately all intellectual and material progress are rooted.” StatesPoliticalIndividualForceSidesProgressMaterialsActivityLimitsIntellectualBasesPropertySeedsViolentAriseOperationsSoilOppositionSpheresRootedAutonomyInterferencePrivate PropertyPolitical Power Author:Ludwig von Mises

“Prayer by its nature is communion and union of man with God; by its action it is the reconciliation of man with God, the mother and daughter of tears, a bridge for crossing temptations, a wall of protection from afflictions, a crushing of conflicts, boundless activity, the spring of virtues, the source of spiritual gifts, invisible progress, food of the soul, the enlightening of the mind, an axe for despair, a demonstration of hope, release from sorrow, the wealth of monks.” MenMindSoulActionSpiritualMotherPeaceWealthPrayerVirtueProgressTearsSourceWallSorrowActivityConflictDespairSpringDaughterUnionsProtectionInvisibleTemptationReleaseBridgesCrushCommunionAfflictionMonkReconciliationEnlighteningDemonstrationBoundlessCrossingsMother And DaughterSpiritual Gifts Author:Ignatius Bryanchaninov
“The parts of a machine work with a maximum of cooperativeness for a common result, but they do not form a community. If, however, they were all cognizant of the common end and all interested in it so that they regulated their specific activity in view of it, then they would form a community. But this would involve communication. Each would have to know what the other was about and would have to have some way of keeping the other informed as to his own purpose and progress.” IfsKnowsWayEndsFormPurposeCommunityResultsViewsCommonProgressCommunicationActivityMachinesMaximumCognizant Book:The Middle Works of John Dewey, 1899-1924, Volume 9: 1916, Democracy and Education Source: The Middle Works of John Dewey, 1899-1924, Volume 9: 1916, Democracy and Education
