To Be Able To Be Caught Up

One Form Of Religion Perpetually Gives Way To Another; If Religion Did Not Change It Would Be Dead. ... Each Time The New Ideas Appear They Are Seen At First As A Deadly Foe Threatening To Make Religion Perish From The Earth; But In The End There Is A Deeper Insight And A Better Life With Ancient Follies And Prejudices Gone.

In Every Civilization, Life Grows Easier. Men Grow Lazier In Consequence. We Have A Picture Of What Happened To The Individual Greek. (i Cannot Look At History, Or At Any Human Action, Except As I Look At The Individual.) The Greeks Had Good Food, Good Witty Talk, Pleasant Dinner Parties; And They Were Content. When The Individual Man Had Reached That Condition In Athens, When The Thought Not Of Giving To The State But Of What The State Could Give To Him, Athens' Freedom Was Doomed.

Ages Of Faith And Of Unbelief Are Always Said To Mark The Course Of History.

Faith Is Not Belief. Belief Is Passive. Faith Is Active.

To Rejoice In Life, To Find The World Beautiful And Delightful To Live In, Was A Mark Of The Greek Spirit Which Distinguished It From All That Had Gone Before. It Is A Vital Distinction.
