A Civilization Is Born Stoic

That A Few Simple Men Should In One Generation Have Invented So Powerful And Appealing A Personality, So Lofty Ethic, And So Inspiring A Vision Of Human Brotherhood, Would Be A Miracle Far More Incredible Than Any Recorded In The Gospels.

Civilization Exists By Geological Consent, Subject To Change Without Notice.

Art Lies In Conceiving And Designing, Not In The Actual Execution' - This Was Left For Lesser Minds.

Every State Begins In Compulsion; But The Habits Of Obedience Become The Content Of Conscience, And Soon Every Citizen Thrills With Loyalty To The Flag. The Citizen Is Right; For However The State Begins, It Soon Becomes An Indispensable Prop To Order.

Civilization Is Not Inherited; It Has To Be Learned And Earned By Each Generation Anew; If The Transmission Should Be Interrupted For One Century, Civilization Would Die, And We Should Be Savages Again.
