More From Adam Smith

Beneficence is a duty. he who frequently practices it, and sees his benevolent intentions realized, at length comes really to love him to whom he has done good. when, therefore, it is said, "thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself," it is not meant, thou shalt love him first and do him good in consequence of that love, but, thou shalt do good to thy neighbor; and this thy beneficence will engender in thee that love to mankind which is the fulness and consummation of the inclination to do good.

If the white man wants to live in peace with the indian, he can live in peace. treat all men alike. give them all the same law. give them all an even chance to live and grow. all men were made by the same great spirit chief. they are all brothers. the earth is the mother of all people, and all people should have equal rights upon it. let me be a free man, free to travel, free to stop, free to work, free to trade where i choose, free to choose my own teachers, free to follow the religion of my fathers, free to think and talk and act for myself, and i will obey every law, or submit to the penalty.

Secrecy is the keystone to all tyranny. not force, but secrecy and censorship. when any government or church for that matter, undertakes to say to its subjects, "this you may not read, this you must not know," the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. mighty little force is needed to control a man who has been hoodwinked in this fashion; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, whose mind is free. no, not the rack nor the atomic bomb, not anything. you can't conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him.

The commendation of adversaries is the greatest triumph of a writer, because it never comes unless extorted.

A person of your century: great persons are of their time. not all were born into a period worthy of them, and many so born failed to benefit by it. some merited a better century, for all that is good does not always triumph. fashions have their periods and even the greatest virtues, their styles. but the philosopher, being ageless, has one advantage: should this not prove the right century, many to follow will.
Fashion Style Triumph
Jazz speaks for life. the blues tell the story of life's difficulties, and if you think for a moment, you will realize that they take the hardest realities of life and put them into music, only to come out with some new hope or sense of triumph.
