Still, Whether We Like It Or Not,

The Place Where Optimism Most Flourishes Is The Lunatic Asylum.

It Is On Our Failures That We Base A New And Different And Better Success.

Education, Whatever Else It Should Or Should Not Be, Must Be An Inoculation Against The Poisons Of Life And An Adequate Equipment In Knowledge And Skill For Meeting The Chances Of Life.

Had There Been A Lunatic Asylum In The Suburbs Of Jerusalem, Jesus Christ Would Infallibly Have Been Shut Up In It At The Outset Of His Public Career. That Interview With Satan On A Pinnacle Of The Temple Would Alone Have Damned Him, And Everything That Happened After Could Have Confirmed The Diagnosis. The Whole Religious Complexion Of The Modern World Is Due To The Absence From Jerusalem Of A Lunatic Asylum.

We Cannot Remain Consistent With The World Save By Growing Inconsistent With Our Past Selves.
