“We have a right to expect that the best trained, the best educated men on the Pacific slope, the Rocky Mountains, and great plains States will take the lead in the preservation and right use of forests, in securing the right use of waters, and in seeing that our land policy is not twisted from its original purpose, but is perpetuated by amendment, by change when such change is necessary in the life of that purpose, the purpose being to turn the public domain into farms each to be the property of the man who actually tills it and makes his home in it.” MenStatesUseHomePurposeTurnsWaterSeeingLandPolicyHe ManMountainOriginalsPropertyForestsEducatedFarmsAmendmentsPreservationDomainTwistedDinosaursPacificSlopesLead InEducated ManPublic DomainRocky MountainUses Of Water Author:Theodore Roosevelt
“The story of the Fall always fascinates me as a play ground, but I cannot find any profound meaning in it, because of my 'liberal' view of human nature: I cannot believe in a state of original innocence, still less in a profound meaning in it, and I am always minimising the conception and the extent of Sin and the sinfulness of sex.” BelieveHumansStillsStatesPlayStoriesFallSexSinViewsHuman NatureOriginalsProfoundInnocenceConceptionSinfulness Author:E.

“The First thing that strikes a traveler in the United States is the innumerable multitude of those who seek to emerge from their original condition; and the second is the rarity of lofty ambition to be observed in the midst of the universally ambitious stir of society. No Americans are devoid of a yearning desire to rise, but hardly any appear to entertain hopes of great magnitude or to pursue very lofty aims. All are constantly seeking to acquire property, power, and reputation.” FirstsStatesDesireUnitedUnited StatesConditionsAmbitionOriginalsAimPropertySeekingStrikesPursueReputationAcquireMidstYearningAmbitiousMultitudesTravelerLoftyMagnitudeRarity Author:Alexis de Tocqueville
“It depends on the state itself to retain or abolish the principle of representation, because it depends on itself whether it will continue a member of the Union. To deny this right would be inconsistent with the principle on which all our political systems are founded, which is, that the people have in all cases, a right to determine how they will be governed. This right must be considered as an ingredient in the original composition of the general government, which, though not expressed, was mutually understood. . .” PeopleStatesGovernmentWould BePoliticalPrinciplesCasesDependsMembersUnderstoodOriginalsUnionsDetermineDenyIngredientsCompositionRepresentationPolitical SystemsAbolishInconsistent Book:A view of the Constitution of the United States of America Source: A view of the Constitution of the United States of America

“I find Chinese debates about their political system domestically, but also about China's claims in the international system, to be among the most original and surprising and exciting of our time. The starting point is a system that none of us had anticipated, which I call Leninist capitalism, but also obviously because it is the most important emerging power. The question of China's relations with the United States in particular, and the rest of the world in general, is the question of war and peace in the 21st century.” WorldImportantWarStatesPoliticalUnitedUnited StatesCenturyParticularCapitalismExcitingClaimsRelationOriginalsStartingInternationalChinaDebateChineseOur TimeSurprising21st CenturyEmergingPolitical SystemsStarting Point Author:Timothy Garton Ash
