Man and his Achievements

Human history is a magnificent pageant of successes and failures. And we have always learned from the past the things necessary for going forward into the future. The first step on the moon was dramatic achievement. But so was the discovery that man could grow plants to feed himself, or weave cloth to clothe himself. So it doesn't hurt to look back on the long history of mankind and the wonders that have been achieved. Look back on courage, on self-reliance, on endurance, on fortitude, all the heritage that the past has given us. This is the way to find a true evaluation toward a glorious future.
Dr. Norman Vincent Peale

What are the 100 years of the history of the machine compared with the 200,000 years of the history of man? It was only yesterday that we began to pitch our camp in this country of laboratories and power stations, that we took possession of this new, this still unfinished house we live in.
Antoine de St. Exupery

Man is half ape, half angel, half matter and half spirit. Herein lies his glory, his tragedy and the possibility of tremendous things.
Edmund W. Sinnot; New Outlook
