Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 6001 to 6500


~ Idea 6462 ~

To a friend who asked him if after all his travels in foreign lands he had not forgotten America, Thomas Paine wrote:

"A thousand years hence, perhaps in less, America may be what England now is. The innocence of her character that won the hearts of all nations in her favor may sound like a romance and her inimitable virtue as if it had never been. The ruins of that liberty which thousand bled for or suffered to obtain, may just furnish materials for a village tale, while the fashionable of that day shall derive the principal and deny the fact. When we contemplate the fall of empires and the extinction of nations of the ancient world, we see but little to excite our regret than the moldering ruins of pompous palaces, magnificent monuments, lofty pyramids and walls and towers of the most costly workmanship. But when the empire of America shall fall, the subject for contemplated sorrow will be infinitely greater than crumbling brass or marble. It will not then be said, "Here stood a temple or here rose a palace of sumptuous extravagance, but here, a painful thought, the noblest work of human wisdom, the grandest scene of human glory, the fair cause of freedom rose and fell."

~ Idea 6463 ~

"The wise only possess ideas; the greater part of mankind are possessed by them."
Coleridge

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living, Volume II Chapter 7 Of Optimism
An athlete who wants to win does not pessimistically think of defeat. If he did he would not win. The same is true of life and humanity.

Of all those people who went before to prepare the way for us, most of those people will not ask us to pay them back. But what they do ask of us is to pay it forward -? that we make this world a better place for those who come after us in just the way that they made this a better place for us. --Naomi Tutu - Daily Good of CharityFocus
