World May Prosperity

More From Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

Real prosperity comes from everybody in the country working together in a growth mode. real prosperity comes as a result of people's own initiative and efforts and so forth. prosperity, if it comes from the government, is not prosperity. it's an existence or a subsistence or whatever, but it isn't prosperity.
Country Real Government
The vanity of existence is revealed in the whole form existence assumes: in the infiniteness of time and space contrasted with the finiteness of the individual in both; in the fleeting present as the sole form in which actuality exists; in the contingency and relativity of all things; in continual becoming without being; in continual desire without satisfaction; in the continual frustration of striving of which life consists. . . time is that by virtue of which everything becomes nothingness in our hands and loses all real value.
Real Frustration Vanity
Now this spirit is admirably mortified by the exercise of patience. it involves also a continual practice of the presence of god; for we may be come upon at any moment for an almost heroic display of good temper. it is a short road to unselfishness; for nothing is left to self. all that seems to belong most intimately to self, to be self's private property, such as time, home, and rest, are invaded by these continual trials of patience.
Home Exercise Self
You cannot create prosperity by law. sustained thrift, industry, application, intelligence, are the only things that ever do, or ever will, create prosperity. but you can very easily destroy prosperity by law.
Law Prosperity Application
We wish to control big business so as to secure among other things good wages for the wage-workers and reasonable prices for the consumers. wherever in any business the prosperity of the business man is obtained by lowering the wages of his workmen and charging an excessive price to the consumers we wish to interfere and stop such practices. we will not submit to that kind of prosperity any more than we will submit to prosperity obtained by swindling investors or getting unfair advantages over business rivals.
Men Practice Wish
So in many ways for me, having lived through what i've lived through, and endured what i've endured, i've got more confidence that i can do the next bit - and there's something sustaining about that.

Leadership rests not only upon ability, not only upon capacity; having the capacity to lead is not enough. the leader must be willing to use it. his leadership is then based on truth and character. there must be truth in the purpose and will power in the character.

Here's a woman, a real pioneer for other women looking for careers in stand-up comedy. and talk about guts - she would come out here and sit in this chair and say some things that were unbelievable - where you would have to swallow pretty hard... but it was hilarious... the force of her comedy was overpowering.
