Growth Virtue Vicious

More From John Milton

Restraint never ruins one's health. what ruins it,is not restraint but outward suppression. a really self-restrained person grows every day from strength to strength and from peace to more peace. the very first step in self-restraint is the restraint of thoughts.

One of the great drivers of the alienation that has made donald trump possible is that the growth in the american economy has been weak. in the decade from 2005 to 2015, there was not one year when the us hit three per cent growth. and to the extent there's been growth, virtually all of it has been collected by the top 10 per cent of the population. obviously, if we knew how to make growth faster, we would. we don't. and it's very difficult to make growth more broadly shared. because it's not just the us that has this problem.

What is sin? it is the glory of god not honored. the holiness of god not reverenced. the greatness of god not admired. the power of god not praised. the truth of god not sought. the wisdom of god not esteemed. the beauty of god not treasured. the goodness of god not savored. the faithfulness of god not trusted. the commandments of god not obeyed. the justice of god not respected. the wrath of god not feared. the grace of god not cherished. the presence of god not prized. the person of god not loved. that is sin.

Where america has got to move is not growth for the sake of growth, but it`s got to move to a society that provides a high quality of life for all of our people. in other words, if people have health care as a right, as do the people of every other major country, then there's less worry about growth. if people have educational opportunity and their kids can go to college and they have child care, then there's less worry about growth for the sake of growth.

The old doctrine that god wanted man to do something for him, and that he kept a watchful eye upon all the children of men; that he rewarded the virtuous and punished the wicked, is gradually fading from the mind. we know that some of the worst men have what the world calls success. we know that some of the best men lie upon the straw of failure. we know that honesty goes hungry, while larceny sits at the banquet. we know that the vicious have every physical comfort, while the virtuous are often clad in rags.
Children Honesty Lying
Let us consider what we call vicious luxury. no gratification, however sensual, can of itself be esteemed vicious. a gratification is only vicious when it engrosses all a man's expense, and leaves no ability for such acts of duty and generosity as are required by his situation and fortune. the same care and toil that raise a dish of peas at christmas would give bread to a whole family during six months.
