More From Edward Everett

It has been pointed out already that no knowledge of probabilities, less in degree than certainty, helps us to know what conclusions are true, and that there is no direct relation between the truth of a proposition and its probability. probability begins and ends with probability.

"judge not, that ye be not judge"... is an abdication of moral responsibility: it is a moral blank check one gives to others in exchange for a moral blank check one expects for oneself. there is no escape from the fact that men have to make choices; so long as men have to make choices, there is no escape from moral values; so long as moral values are at stake, no moral neutrality is possible. to abstain from condemning a torturer, is to become an accesory to the torture and murder of his victims. the moral principle to adopt... is: "judge, and be prepared to be judged."

A few years ago the deists denied the inspiration of the bible on account of its cruelty. at the same time they worshiped what they were pleased to call the god of nature. now we are convinced that nature is as cruel as the bible; so that, if the god of nature did not write the bible, this god at least has caused earthquakes and pestilence and famine, and this god has allowed millions of his children to destroy one another. so that now we have arrived at the question - not as to whether the bible is inspired and not as to whether jehovah is the real god, but whether there is a god or not.

What the world needs today is a definite, spiritual mobilization of the nations who believe in god against this tide of red agnosticism. it needs a moral mobilization against the hideous ideas of the police state and human slavery. i suggest that the united nations should be reorganized without the communist nations in it. it is a proposal based solely upon moral, spiritual and defense foundations. it is a proposal to redeem the concept of the united nations to the high purpose for which it was created. it is a proposal for moral and spiritual cooperation of god-fearing free nations. and in rejecting an atheistic other world, i am confident that the almighty god will be with us.

True love comes into being when you practice the highest possible love in the lowest possible place. there you deal with impossible people and try to raise them into the highest possible people by showing them the highest possible standard. there is where true love can be found and can start.

But tell me: how did gold get to be the highest value? because it is uncommon and useless and gleaming and gentle in its brilliance; it always gives itself. only as an image of the highest virtue did gold get to be the highest value. the giver's glance gleams like gold. a golden brilliance concludes peace between the moon and the sun. uncommon is the highest virtue and useless, it is gleaming and gentle in its brilliance: a gift-giving virtue is the highest virtue.
