When we look at modern man, we have to face the fact...that modern man suffers from a kind of poverty of the spirit, which stands in glaring contrast to his scientific and technological abundance; we've learned to fly the air like birds, we've learned to swim the seas like fish, and yet we haven't learned to walk the earth as brothers and sisters.

Brother Air Sea
We must work passionately and indefatigably to bridge the gulf between our scientific progress and our moral progress. one of the great problems of mankind is that we suffer from a poverty of the spirit which stands in glaring contrast to our scientific and technological abundance. the richer we have become materially, the poorer we have become morally and spiritually.

He that can swim needs not despair to fly; to swim is to fly in a grosser fluid, and to fly is to swim in a subtler. we are only to proportion our power of resistance to the different density of matter through which we are to pass. you will be necessarily upborne by the air if you can renew any impulse upon it faster than the air can recede from the pressure.
Air Swim Different
The richer we have become materially, the poorer we become morally and spiritually. we have learned to fly in the air like birds and swim in the sea like fish, but we have not learned the simple art of living together as brothers.

The natives of british columbia live largely upon the fish which abound in their seas and rivers. if the fish do not come in due season, and the indians are hungry, a nootka wizard will make an image of a swimming fish and put it into the water in the direction from which the fish generally appear. this ceremony, accompanied by a prayer to the fish to come, will cause them to arrive at once.

Marilla felt more embarrassed than ever. she had intended to teach anne the childish classic, "now i lay me down to sleep." but she had, as i have told you, the glimmerings of a sense of humor--which is simply another name for a sense of the fitness of things; and it suddenly occurred to her that simple little prayer, sacred to the white-robed childhood lisping at motherly knees, was entirely unsuited to this freckled witch of a girl who knew and cared nothing about god's love, since she had never had it translated to her through the medium of human love.
