All Progress Is Experimental.

Politics Is Organized Hatred, That Is Unity.

The World Values The Seer Above All Men, And Has Always Done So. Nay, It Values All Men In Proportion As They Partake Of The Character Of Seers. The Elgin Marbles And A Decision Of John Marshall Are Valued For The Same Reason. What We Feel In Them Is A Painstaking Submission To Facts Beyond The Author's Control, And To Ideas Imposed On Him By His Vision. So With Beethoven's Symphonies, With Adam Smith's Wealth Of Nations - With Any Conceivable Output Of The Human Mind Of Which You Approve. You Love Them Because You Say, These Things Were Not Made, They Were Seen.

The Present In New York Is So Powerful That The Past Is Lost.
