Loyalty Individual Believer

More From Eric Hoffer

Collective unity is not the result of the brotherly love of the faithful for each other. the loyalty of the true believer is to the whole the church, party, nation and not to his fellow true believer. true loyalty between individuals is possible only in a loose and relatively free society .
Loyalty Party Faithful
I believe that there is something far nobler than loyalty to any particular man. loyalty to the truth as we perceive it - loyalty to our duty as we know it - loyalty to the ideals of our brain and heart - is, to my mind, far greater and far nobler than loyalty to the life of any particular man or god. . . .
Life Loyalty Believe
The educated man pictures a horde of submen, wanting only a day's liberty to loot his house, burn his books, and set him to work minding a machine or sweeping out a lavatory. 'anything,' he thinks, 'any injustice, sooner than let that mob loose.' he does not see that since there is no difference between the mass of rich and poor, there is no question of setting the mob loose. the mob is in fact loose now, and--in the shape of rich men--is using its power to set up enormous treadmills of boredom, such as 'smart' hotels.

If a thing is free to be good it is also free to be bad. and free will is what has made evil possible. why, then, did god give them free will? because free will, though it makes evil possible, is also the only thing that makes possible any love or goodness or joy worth having.

Then i felt too that i might take this opportunity to tie up a few loose ends, only of course loose ends can never be properly tied, one is always producing new ones. time, like the sea, unties all knots. judgements on people are never final, they emerge from summings up which at once suggest the need of a reconsideration. human arrangements are nothing but loose ends and hazy reckoning, whatever art may otherwise pretend in order to console us.
Art Opportunity Order
If the white man wants to live in peace with the indian, he can live in peace. treat all men alike. give them all the same law. give them all an even chance to live and grow. all men were made by the same great spirit chief. they are all brothers. the earth is the mother of all people, and all people should have equal rights upon it. let me be a free man, free to travel, free to stop, free to work, free to trade where i choose, free to choose my own teachers, free to follow the religion of my fathers, free to think and talk and act for myself, and i will obey every law, or submit to the penalty.

With my mother's death all settled happiness, all that was tranquil and reliable, disappeared from my life. there was to be much fun, many pleasures, many stabs of joy; but no more of the old security. it was sea and islands now; the great continent had sunk like atlantis.
Happiness Mother Fun
I would like especially to mention you, the women, wives and mothers of paraguay, who at great cost and sacrifice were able to lift up a country defeated, devastated and laid low by an abominable war. god bless your perseverance, god bless and encourage your faith, god bless the women of paraguay, the most glorious women of america.

No one expects a woman busy at her sewing to pay attention to what’s being said around her. nevermind if a man’s mother and sister showerd them they heard everything while they stictched, he’ll still think a woman who plies her needles saves all her brains for the work. you’re a far better spy hemming sheets than if you clank with daggers.
