Summary

This quote highlights the misconception that time alone can lead to spiritual growth or closeness to God. It implies that many people, including the speaker, have mistakenly relied on the passing of time to bring them closer to a higher power. However, the quote challenges this belief by asserting that time does not inherently teach or provide spiritual enlightenment; instead, it may only bring feelings of weariness and the passage of age. In essence, the quote suggests that genuine spiritual growth requires more than simply the passage of time.

There was a time when we the U.S. had completely unrestricted immigration, when anybody could come to these shores and the motto on the Statue of Liberty had some real meaning. This was a country of hope and of promise for immigrants and their children, and as many as a million immigrants a year came in 1906 and '07 and '08. By 1914, roughly a third of the population was foreign-born or the immediate descendants of foreign-born...The fact that year after year hundreds of thousands of people left the countries of Europe to come to this country was persuasive evidence that they were coming to improve their lot, not to worsen it.
