15 Things Far Too Many Americans Are Foolishly Taking For Granted
"Out
of every hundred new ideas ninety-nine or more will probably be
inferior to the traditional responses which they propose to replace. No
one man, however brilliant or well-informed, can come in one lifetime
to such fullness of understanding as to safely judge and dismiss the
customs or institutions of his society, for those are the wisdom of
generations after centuries of experiment in the laboratory of history.†—Will and Ariel Durant
"We
make men without chests and expect from them virtue and enterprise. We
laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst.†–C.S. Lewis
Too
many Americans have become like the spoiled trust fund kids running the
family business. Grandpa built it and knew it top to bottom. Dad
learned from him and kept it going. Now they’re taking over and
unfortunately, they never really bothered to learn the ins and outs of
how the company works. They just look at it as a place where they can
have a fancy title and get money to finance their lifestyle.
