Rewards Prison Virtue

More From George Farquhar

Crimes were committed to punish crimes, and crimes were committed to prevent crimes. the world has been filled with prisons and dungeons, with chains and whips, with crosses and gibbets, with thumbscrews and racks, with hangmen and heads-men — and yet these frightful means and instrumentalities have committed far more crimes than they have prevented.... ignorance, filth, and poverty are the missionaries of crime. as long as dishonorable success outranks honest effort — as long as society bows and cringes before the great thieves, there will be little ones enough to fill the jails.
Ignorance Mean Men
Little crimes breed big crimes. you smile at little crimes and then big crimes blow your head off.
Blow Littles Crime
Patriotism is proud of a country's virtues and eager to correct its deficiencies; it also acknowledges the legitimate patriotism of other countries, with their own specific virtues. the pride of nationalism, however, trumpets its country's virtues and denies its deficiencies, while it is contemptuous toward the virtues of other countries. it wants to be, and proclaims itself to be, "the greatest," but greatness is not required of a country; only goodness is.
Country Humility Pride
A comprehensive doctrine, either religious or secular, aspires to cover all of life. i mean, if it's a religious doctrine, it talks about our relation to god and the universe; it has an ordering of all the virtues, not only political virtues but moral virtues as well, including the virtues of private life, and the rest. now we may feel philosophically that it doesn't really cover everything, but it aims to cover everything, and a secular doctrine does also.
Religious Mean Political
It's impossible for minorities, impossible for people of color to be ever guilty of hate crimes. because their only crimes are justified. their crimes are justifiable. it’s retribution and payback for years and decades and maybe even centuries of oppressive behavior at the hands of the white majority.
Hate Hands Color
Economists and workplace consultants regard it as almost unquestioned dogma that people are motivated by rewards, so they don't feel the need to test this. it has the status more of religious truth than scientific hypothesis. the facts are absolutely clear. there is no question that in virtually all circumstances in which people are doing things in order to get rewards, extrinsic tangible rewards undermine intrinsic motivation.the bonus myth: how paying for results can backfire the world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing.

The religious need of the human mind remains alive, never more so, but it demands a teaching which can be understood. slowly an apprehension of the intimate, usable power of god is growing among us, and a growing recognition of the only worth-while application of that power-in the improvement of the world.
Religious Teaching Mind
The reason why christ is unknown today is because his mother is unknown.
Mother Religious Today
Under the blessings of divine providence... it becomes us, in humility, to make our devout acknowledgments to the supreme ruler of the universe, for the inestimable civil and religious blessings with which we are favored.
Religious Humility Blessing
The radical islamic terrorists and their intent to destroy any other religious structure than their radical, wrong-headed view of islam is one of the great, if not the greatest, challenge we've had in 70 years in america.
