Summary

This quote suggests that in order to initiate any kind of transformation or personal growth, one must first become aware of an issue or problem. This awareness is crucial as it helps us acknowledge the presence of the problem and recognize its impact on our lives. However, awareness alone is not enough; the second step is acceptance. Acceptance entails embracing the reality of the situation without resistance or denial. It involves acknowledging that change is necessary and being open to the possibilities it can bring. Together, awareness and acceptance set the foundation for meaningful and transformative change.

Of America it would ill beseem any Englishman, and me perhap

Of America it would ill beseem any Englishman, and me perhaps as little as another, to speak unkindly, to speak unpatriotically, if any of us even felt so. Sure enough, America is a great, and in many respects a blessed and hopeful phenomenon. Sure enough, these hardy millions of Anglosaxon men prove themselves worthy of their genealogy. But as to a Model Republic, or a model anything, the wise among themselves know too well that there is nothing to be said. Their Constitution, such as it may be, was made here, not there. Cease to brag to me of America, and its model institutions and constitutions.
