I'm afraid of making a mistake. i'm not totally neurotic, but i'm pretty neurotic about it. i'm as close to totally neurotic as you can get without being totally neurotic.
Mistake Making Mistakes Neurotic
Truth is found neither in marxism nor in traditional capitalism. each represents a partial truth. historically capitalism failed to see the truth in collective enterprise, and marxism failed to see the truth in individual enterprise. nineteenth century capitalism failed to see that life is social and marxism failed and still fails to see that life is individual and personal. the kingdom of god is neither the thesis of individual enterprise nor the antithesis of collective enterprise, but a synthesis which reconciles the truths of both.

With a thousand joys i would accept a nonacademic job for which industriousness, accuracy, loyalty, and such are sufficient without specialized knowledge, and which would give a comfortable living and sufficient leisure, in order to sacrifice to my gods [mathematical research]. for example, i hope to get the editting of the census, the birth and death lists in local districts, not as a job, but for my pleasure and satisfaction.

But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact an american and nothing but an american. if he tries to keep segregated with men of his own origin and separated from the rest of america, then he isn't doing his part as an american. there can be no divided allegiance here. . . we have room for but one language here, and that is the english language, for we intend to see that the crucible turns our people out as americans, of american nationality, and not as dwellers in a polyglot boarding-house; and we have room for but one soul loyalty, and that is loyalty to the american people.

There are certain things that we can accomplish by law and there are certain things that we cannot accomplish by law or by any process of government. we cannot legislate intelligence. we cannot legislate morality. nor can we legislate loyalty, for loyalty is a kind of morality.
