We Do Not See The Lens Through

An Observer Will See The Bizarre Developments Of Behavior Only In Alien Cultures, Not His Own. Nevertheless This Is Obviously A Local And Temporary Bias. There Is No Reason To Suppose That Any One Culture Has Seized Upon An Eternal Sanity And Will Stand In History As A Solitary Solution Of The Human Problem. Even The Next Generation Knows Better. Our Only Scientific Course Is To Consider Our Own Culture, So Far As We Are Able, As One Example Among Innumerable Others Of The Variant Configurations Of Human Culture.

Western Civilization, Because Of Fortuitous Historical Circumstances, Has Spread Itself More Widely Than Any Other Local Group That Has So Far Been Known.

Success And Failure In Our Own National Economy Will Hang Upon The Degree To Which We Are Able To Work With Races And Nations Whose Social Order And Whose Behavior And Attitudes Are Strange To Us.

Society In Its Full Sense . . . Is Never An Entity Separable From The Individuals Who Compose It.

Faith Is The Virtue Of The Storm, Just As Happiness Is The Virtue Of Sunshine.
