Way Should Equipment
The true enlightenment thinker, the true rationalist, never wants to talk anyone into anything. no, he does not even want to convince; all the time he is aware that he may be wrong. above all, he values the intellectual independence of others too highly to want to convince them in important matters. he would much rather invite contradiction, preferably in the form of rational and disciplined criticism. he seeks not to convince but to arouse - to challenge others to form free opinions.
Free Opinion Challenges Intellectual
The philosopher ... subjects experience to his critical judgment, and this contains a value judgment namely, that freedom from toil is preferable to toil, and an intelligent life is preferable to a stupid life. it so happened that philosophy was born with these values. scientific thought had to break this union of value judgment and analysis, for it became increasingly clear that the philosophic values did not guide the organisation of society.

Optimism is a tonic. pessimism is poison. admittedly, every businessman must be realistic. he must gather facts, analyze them candidly and strive to draw logical conclusions, whether favorable or unfavorable. he must not engage in self-delusion. he must not view everything through rose-colored glasses. granting this, the incontestable truth is that america has been built up by optimists, not by pessimists, but by men possessing courage, confidence in the nation's destiny, by men willing to adventure to shoulder risks terrifying to the timid.

Too much pessimism has led too many men into making serious mistakes. and perhaps part of our pessimism comes because we are too close to ourselves to see in proper perspective.

Summer, with its dog days, its vacations, its distractions, is over. we have had our holidays, our rest, our recreation. the fall season, with its new opportunities for effort, enterprise and achievement, is upon us. let us rip off our coats and get down to business. we may have allowed pessimism to grip us during the summer months. we may even have allowed laziness to enter our bones. now it is up to us to throw off both lassitude and pessimism. the time has come for action, for aggressiveness.

O, teach me how you look, and with what art you sway the motion of demetrius' heart."-helena
Art Looks Midsummer
Earth gets its price for what earth gives us; the beggar is taxed for a corner to die in, the priest hath his fee who comes and shrives us, we bargain for the graves we lie in; each ounce of dross costs its ounce of gold... 't is heaven alone that is given away, 't is only god may be had for the asking; there is no price set on the lavish summer, and june may be had by the poorest comer.
