“Of all races in an advanced stage of civilization, the American is the least accessible to long views… Always and everywhere in a hurry to get rich, he does not give a thought to remote consequences; he sees only present advantages… He does not remember, he does not feel, he lives in a materialist dream.”

          —Moiseide Ostrogorski (1902, 302-303)


"We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them."
                              -Albert Einstein

"The aim of every political constitution is, or ought to be, first to obtain for rulers men who possess most wisdom to discern, and most virtue to pursue, the common good of the society; and in the next place, to take the most effectual precautions for keeping them virtuous whilst they continue to hold their public trust."
                                             -James Madison, FEDERALIST #57 (1787)
