Like Christianity, modern science teaches that these things of the world of senses are not really real, but that there is a more r...eal reality, in Nature, behind these appearances, a permanent, unchanging reality in comparison to which the world of appearance is ever changing and is an accidental product of our sense organs. Unlike the "other world" of Christianity, which is world of spirit or mind, altogether without body, this "other world" of science is a world of matter, altogether without spirit, life, or mind. This ultimately real world is the world of particles (little bits of dead stuff), of space and time and of forces (gravitational, electromagnetic, and more recently the strong and weak nuclear forces).LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Japan gets the most of ordinary people by organizing them to adapt and succeed. America, by getting out of their way so that they ...can adjust individually, allows them to succeed.

At the government's direction, the entire economy has tried to flex almost as one, in response to the ever-changing world. The country often seems like a family that becomes more tightly bound together when it must withstand war, emigration, or some other upheaval.

The openness encourages Americans to adapt as individuals rather than as a group.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

More than the changing of institutions we need the development of a national conscience, and the upbuilding of national character.... Men may boast of the aristocracy of blood, may glory in the aristocracy of talent, and be proud of the aristocracy of wealth, but there is one aristocracy which must ever outrank them all, and that is the aristocracy of character; and it is the women of a country who help to mold its character, and to influence if not determine its destiny; and in the political future of our nation woman will not have done what she could if she does not endeavor to have our republic stand foremost among the nations of the earth, wearing sobriety as a crown and righteousness as a garment and a girdle.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

Language is a living thing. We can feel it changing. Parts of it become old: they drop off and are forgotten. New pieces bud out, ...spread into leaves, and become big branches, proliferating.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
