“For why, my brothers and sisters, would you rejoice in silver? Either your silver will perish, or you will, and no one knows which will perish first. For neither can you remain here always, nor can silver remain here always; so also with gold, wardrobes, houses, money, real estate-and in the end, even the light by which we enjoy all these things. So do not be willing then to rejoice in such things as these. Rejoice instead in the light that has no setting; rejoice in the dawn which no yesterday precedes, and no tomorrow follows.” KnowsFirstsRealEndsLightHouseEnjoyWillingBrotherTomorrowGoldYesterdaySettingSettingsDawnMy BrotherSilverRejoiceConsumerismEstatesBrothers And SistersWardrobeOverconsumption Author:Saint Augustine
“We deeply regret that some Senators are still willing to do Big Oil?s bidding, and we now turn to the House where the Arctic drilling scheme should be dead on arrival.

“In virtually every Continental state at this time, aristocracies had to live with the risk that their property might be pillaged or confiscated. Only in Great Britain did it prove possible to float the idea that aristocratic property was in some magical and strictly intangible way the people's property also. The fact that hundreds of thousands of men and women today are willing to accept that privately owned country houses and their contents are part of Britain's national heritage is one more proof of how successfully the British elite reconstructed its cultural image in an age of revolution.” PeopleMenWayIdeasCountryStatesFactsMightAgeTodayHouseAcceptingRiskWillingRevolutionProveMen And WomenPropertyBritishProofBritainHeritageElitesFloatsAristocracyGreat BritainIntangibleBritish HistoryContinentalAristocraticCountry Houses Book:Britons: Forging the Nation, 1707-1837 Source: Britons: Forging the Nation, 1707-1837

“Every Cuban has a house to live in, no matter how meager. That house is provided by government. Every Cuban who gets sick can go to a doctor or a hospital and get medical attention while 45 million Americans don't have medical insurance. Every Cuban can get education from the kindergarten through college and they don't have to pay.
