Seite 295 - They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
Seite 678 - And let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar structure, reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.
Seite 122 - I see no more reason to believe in 'the' business cycle. It is simply fluctuations about its own mean. And yet the cycle idea is supposed to have more content than mere variability. It implies a regular succession of similar fluctuations, constituting some sort of recurrence, so that, as in the case of the phases of the moon, the tides of the sea, wave motion, or pendulum swing, we can forecast the future on the basis of a pattern worked out from past experience, and which we have reason to think...

Seite 673 - Good citizenship as an aim in life is nothing new. Patriotism, intelligent devotion to civic welfare, wherever found and at all times, bespeaks an education that is consciously acquired. But good citizenship as a dominant aim of the American public school is something new. For the first time in history, as I see it, a social democracy is attempting to shape the opinions and bias the judgment of on-coming generations.
Seite 294 - The bill unjustly discriminates against teachers as a class. It deprives teachers of their right to freedom of thought, it limits the teaching staff of the public schools to those only who lack the courage or the mind to exercise their legal right to just criticism of existing institutions. The bill confers upon the Commissioner of Education a power of interference with freedom of opinion which strikes at the foundations of democratic education.
