When you delve deep enough, you find that practically every great fortune and great enterprise in america have sprung from the courageous enterprise of some individual. it was commodore vanderbilt's enterprise in switching first from running a ferryboat to running other ships, and then, when he was well along in years, his enterprise in switching into railroading, that created what was to become one of the most notable fortunes in the history of the world.

More From B. C. Forbes

The essence of vanderbilt is still learning, the essence of its outlook is still liberty, and liberty and learning will be and must be the touchstones of vanderbilt university and of any free university in this country or the world. i say two touchstones, yet they are almost inseparable, inseparable if not indistinguishable, for liberty without learning is always in peril, and learning without liberty is always in vain.

I don't think playing it safe constitutes a retreat, necessarily. in other words, i don't think if, by playing safe he means we are not going to delve into controversy, then if that's what he means he's quite right. i'm not going to delve into controversy. somebody asked me the other day if this means that i'm going to be a meek conformist, and my answer is no. i'm just acting the role of a tired non-conformist.

If i marry: he must be so tall that when he is on his knees, as one has said he reaches all the way to heaven. his shoulders must be broad enough to bear the burden of a family. his lips must be strong enough to smile, firm enough to say no, and tender enough to kiss. love must be so deep that it takes its stand in christ and so wide that it takes the whole lost world in. he must be active enough to save souls. he must be big enough to be gentle and great enough to be thoughtful. his arms must be strong enough to carry a little child.

Truth is found neither in marxism nor in traditional capitalism. each represents a partial truth. historically capitalism failed to see the truth in collective enterprise, and marxism failed to see the truth in individual enterprise. nineteenth century capitalism failed to see that life is social and marxism failed and still fails to see that life is individual and personal. the kingdom of god is neither the thesis of individual enterprise nor the antithesis of collective enterprise, but a synthesis which reconciles the truths of both.

There are few who would need advisers, if they were only accustomed to appeal to themselves in their calmest, holiest moments. if, when embarrassed with doubt as to any course of action, they would turn aside from the immediate tumult of the world, and from the vain speaking of those who "darken counsel by words without knowledge;" and would then commune with their hearts alone, at night, the heavens their silent counsellors, they would act not always in accordance with the wise men of this world, but with that wisdom which bringeth peace.
