...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.

Men Will Work Hard For Money. They Will Work Harder For Other Men. But Men Will Work Hardest Of All When They Are Dedicated To A Cause. Until Willingness Overflows Obligation, Men Fight As Conscripts Rather Than Following The Flag As Patriots. Duty Is Never Worthily Performed Until It Is Performed By One Who Would Gladly Do More If Only He Could.

Science Forces Religion To Deal With New Ideas In The Theoretical Realm And New Forces In The Practical Realm.

Atheism Is A Theoretical Formulation Of The Discouraged Life.
