wise cheer men
Our history is every human history; a black and gory business, with more scoundrels than wise men at the lead, and more louts than both put together to cheer and follow.
eye men parent
The mealy look of men today is the result of momism and so is the pinched and baffled fury in the eyes of womankind.
lying destiny men
Man's destiny lies half within himself, half without. To advance in either half at the expense of the other is literally insane.
men civilization cities
A few suits of clothes, some money in the bank, and a new kind of fear constitute the main differences between the average American today and the hairy men with clubs who accompanied Attila to the city of Rome.
men long gears
Common man has at long last got himself so far out of gear with nature and his environment that he is beginning to see the shape of extinction, whether he recognizes it as such or not.
men blood brain
But we are as other men, exactly. Of one blood, one species, one brain, one figure, one fundamental set of collective instincts, one solitary body of information, one everything. Superiority and inferiority are individual, not racial or national.
done doers certain
Not to understand the doer is to have no certain knowledge of what has been done, or why it was undertaken
strife
There is no advance without strife.
ignorance determined kind
Ignorance is not bliss — it is oblivion. Determined ignorance is the hastiest kind of oblivion.
trying liberty quality
The businessmen have corrupted liberty by trying to propose it as a material quality.
hate people common
God must hate common people, because he made them so common.
inferiority individual superiority
Superiority and inferiority are individual, not racial or national.
education cities church
Education is not a function of any church or even of a city or a state; it is a function of all mankind .
powerful people minorities
Absolute dominion of a powerful people by a minority always produces national aggression.
