No Character Is Ultimately Tested

...while Science Gives Us Implements To Use, Science Alone Does Not Determine For What Ends They Will Be Employed. Radio Is An Amazing Invention. Yet Now That It Is Here, One Suspects That Hitler Never Could Have Consolidated His Totalitarian Control Over Germany Without Its Use. One Never Can Tell What Hands Will Reach Out To Lay Hold On Scientific Gifts, Or To What Employment They Will Be Put. Ever The Old Barbarian Emerges, Destructively Using The New Civilization.

Every Great Scientist Becomes A Great Scientist Because Of The Inner Self-abnegation With Which He Stands Before Truth, Saying: "not My Will, But Thine, Be Done." What, Then, Does A Man Mean By Saying, Science Displaces Religion, When In This Deep Sense Science Itself Springs From Religion?

He Who Picks Up One End Of A Stick Picks Up The Other. He Who Chooses The Beginning Of A Road Chooses The Place It Leads To. It Is The Means That Determine The End.

Nothing Else Matters Much...not Wealth, Nor Learning, Nor Even Health...without This Gift: The Spiritual Capacity To Keep Zest In Living. This Is The Creed Of Creeds, The Final Deposit And Distillation Of All Important Faiths: That You Should Be Able To Believe In Life.

Whatever You Laugh At In Others, Laughs At Yourself
