More From Kenneth Rexroth

Courtesy is doing that which nothing under the sun makes you do but human kindness. courtesy springs from the heart; if the mind prompts the action, there is a reason; if there be a reason, it is not courtesy, for courtesy has no reason. courtesy is good will, and good will is prompted by the heart full of love to be kind. only the generous man is truly courteous. he gives freely without a thought of receiving anything in return.
Kindness Spring Heart

And then he drew a dial from his poke, and looking with lack-lustre eye, says very wisely, 'it is ten o'clock: thus we may see', quoth he, 'how the world wags: 'tis but an hour ago since it was nine, and after one hour more 'twill be eleven; and so from hour to hour we ripe and ripe, and then from hour to hour we rot and rot.

The spirit of christmas lives with us. we are the protectors of the real tradition of christmas-peace on earth and goodwill to all. we are the hope of man-the only hope. mankind's salvation lies within our hands. with our tech and ability we can create here on earth a real heaven where men can be free. in our hands lies the power to restore to man his determinism and all that he finds good in himself-his honesty, his integrity, and the thrill of being of real help to others. a very merry christmas to you all and a bright friendly new year.
