"The strength or weakness of a [[society]] depends more on the level of its [[spiritual]] life than on its level of industrialization. Neither a market economy nor even general abundance constitutes the crowning achievement of human life. If a nation's spiritual energies have been exhausted, it will not be saved from collapse by the most perfect government structure or by any industrial development. A tree with a rotten core cannot stand." - [[Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn]]

"Let tyrants shake their iron rod, And slavery clank her galling chains, We fear them not, we trust in God, New England’s God forever reigns. The foe comes on with haughty stride, Our troops advance with martial noise, Their veterans flee before our youth, And generals yield to beardless boys.” - American Revolutionary – “Chester” (1778 Continental Army song)
"Ain’t gonna let nobody turn me ’round, Turn me ’round, turn me ’round. I’m gonna keep on a-walkin’, keep on a-talkin’, Marchin’ down to freedom land.” - U.S. Civil rights era (USA) – “[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPuBGcng6Tw Ain’t Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me ’Round]”
"Everyone holds his fortune in his own hands, like a sculptor the raw material he will fashion into a figure. But it’s the same with that type of [[art]]istic activity as with all others: We are merely born with the capability to do it. The [[skill]] to mold the material into what we want must be learned and attentively cultivated." - [[Johann Wolfgang von Goethe]]
