Reason Tends To Check Selfish

Civilization Depends Upon The Vigorous Pursuit Of The Highest Values By People Who Are Intelligent Enough To Know That Their Values Are Qualified By Their Interests And Corrupted By Their Prejudices.

The Individual Or The Group Which Organizes Any Society, However Social Its Intentions Or Pretensions, Arrogates An Inordinate Portion Of Social Privilege To Itself.

All Human Sin Seems So Much Worse In Its Consequences Than In Its Intentions.

Now When The Historic Religions Give Trivial Answers To These Very Tragic Questions Of Our Day, When An Evangelist Says, For Instance, We Mustn't Hope For A Summit Meeting, We Must Hope In Christ Without Spelling Out What This Could Mean In Our Particular Nuclear Age. This Is The Irrelevant Answer, When Another Evangelist Says If America Doesn't Stop Being Selfish, It Will Be Doomed. This Is Also A Childish Answer Because Nations Are Selfish And The Question About America Isn't Whether We Will Be Selfish Or Unselfish, But Will We Be Sufficiently Imaginative To Pass The Reciprocal Trade Acts.

Nothing We Do, However Virtuous, Can Be Accomplished Alone; Therefore We Are Saved By Love.
