But In Practical Affairs, Particularly In Politics, Men Are Needed Who Combine Human Experience And Interest In Human Relations With A Knowledge Of Science And Technology.

We Have Sought For Firm Ground And Found None. The Deeper We Penetrate, The More Restless Becomes The Universe; All Is Rushing About And Vibrating In A Wild Dance.

It Is Odd To Think That There Is A Word For Something Which, Strictly Speaking, Does Not Exist, Namely, "rest." We Distinguish Between Living And Dead Matter; Between Moving Bodies And Bodies At Rest. This Is A Primitive Point Of View. What Seems Dead, A Stone Or The Proverbial "door-nail," Say, Is Actually Forever In Motion. We Have Merely Become Accustomed To Judge By Outward Appearances; By The Deceptive Impressions We Get Through Our Senses.
