More From Mark Hopkins

The self is a relation which relates itself to its own self, or it is that in the relation that the relation relates itself to its own self; the self is not the relation but that the relation relates itself to its own self.

Encourage free schools and resolve that not one dollar appropriated for their support shall be appropriated to the support of any sectarian schools. resolve that neither the state nor nation, nor both combined, shall support institutions of learning other than those sufficient to afford every child growing up in the land of opportunity of a good common school education, unmixed with sectarian, pagan, or atheistical dogmas. leave the matter of religion to the family altar, the church and the private school supported entirely by private contributions. keep the church and state forever separate.

Faith, then, generically, is confidence in a personal being. specifically, religious faith is confidence in god, in every respect and office in which he reveals himself. as that love of which god is the object is religious love, so that confidence in him as a father, a moral governor, a redeemer, a sanctifier, in all the modes of his manifestation, by which we believe whatever he says because he says it, and commit ourselves and all our interests cheerfully and entirely into his hands, is religious faith.

Confidence is not lodged in people's brains, it comes from the support system that surrounds them. let's not confuse confidence overall with just self-confidence. self-confidence is only one part of confidence. people also need confidence in others - their colleagues and leaders - that they can count on them to do the right thing and not to let them down.

If a thing is free to be good it is also free to be bad. and free will is what has made evil possible. why, then, did god give them free will? because free will, though it makes evil possible, is also the only thing that makes possible any love or goodness or joy worth having.

Faith and daily life, faith and work-these are not separate things. they are one and the same. to think of them as separate-that faith is faith, and work is work-is theoretical faith. based on the recognition that work and faith are one and the same, we should put one hundred percent of our energy into our jobs and one hundred percent into our faith, too. when we resolve to do this, we enter the path of victory in life. faith means to show irrefutable proof of victory amid the realities of society and in our own daily lives.

I think the most joyous thing in life is to loaf around and watch another bloke do a job of work. look how popular are the men who dig up london with electric drills. duke's son, cook's son, son of a hundred kings, people will stand there for hours on end, ear drums splitting. why? simply for the pleasure of being idle while watching other people work.

Then, in the 1980's, came the paroxysm of downsizing, and the very nature of the corporation was thrown into doubt. in what began almost as a fad and quickly matured into an unshakable habit, companies were 'restructuring,' 'reengineering,' and generally cutting as many jobs as possible, white collar as well as blue . . . the new york times captured the new corporate order succinctly in 1987, reporting that...
