More From William James

To the extent that either sex is disadvantaged, the whole culture is poorer, and the sex that, superficially, inherits the earth, inherits only a very partial legacy. the more whole the culture, the more whole each member, each man, each woman, each child will be.
Sex Children Equality
Innate is a segment of the all-wise; educated is an offspring of innate, a servant for its lifetime only. educated continues with and lasts as long as life exists; innate is eternal, always was and always will be.

We're a young species; we're only 175,000 years old. on the evolutionary scale, life on this planet is 4 billion years old. we're 175,000 years old. so we're trying something out. who wouldn't think it would be better to have the most stuff to take as much as you could? as we do that, we see why the moral prophets come along and say, don't even store into barns, right? it's easier for a camel to pass through the eye of the needle than a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. we've seen we plunder nature. we plunder our neighbor. we create enemies because we're against each other.

When the rich plunder the poor of his rights, it becomes an example for the poor to plunder the rich of his property, for the rights of the one are as much property to him as wealth is property to the other, and the little all is as dear as the much. it is only by setting out on just principles that men are trained to be just to each other; and it will always be found, that when the rich protect the rights of the poor, the poor will protect the property of the rich. but the guarantee, to be effectual, must be parliamentarily reciprocal.

When a man is in god's grace and free from mortal sin, then everything that he does, so long as there is no sin in it, gives god glory and what does not give him glory has some, however little, sin in it. it is not only prayer that gives god glory but work. smiting on an anvil, sawing a beam, whitewashing a wall, driving horses, sweeping, scouring, everything gives god some glory if being in his grace you do it as your duty.

That means we get other countries to play by our rules. you add up all the countries that we have trade agreements with, we have a surplus with them. you add up the countries we do not have a trade agreement with, that`s where a massive trade deficit comes from. so our goal is to get free trade agreements, and that means we get other countries to play and live by our rules so we can level the playing field.

He[napoleon] had destroyed only one thing: the jacobin revolution, the dream of equality, liberty and fraternity, and of the people rising in its majesty to shake off oppression. it was a more powerful myth than his, for after his fall it was this, and not his memory, which inspired the revolutions of the nineteenth century, even in his own country.

I went to a school that was founded on a lot of very radical ideals of how education should be changed. but what's happening to schools like that sort of all over the country is in economic pressure they're becoming more and more preparatory because that's what people will really pay the money for private schooling for now.
