Summary

This quote highlights the complementary roles of science and art. It suggests that science involves studying and making knowledge accessible based on the collective priorities and interests of society at a particular time. On the other hand, art takes this knowledge and translates it into emotional experiences, appealing to people's feelings rather than just their intellect. In this way, science and art work together to bridge the gap between knowledge and personal expression, providing a more holistic understanding and appreciation of the world.

Money is like fire, an element as little troubled by moralizing as earth, air and water. Men can employ it as a tool or they can dance around it as if it were the incarnation of a god. Money votes socialist or monarchist, finds a profit in pornography or translations from the Bible, commissions Rembrandt and underwrites the technology of Auschwitz. It acquires its meaning from the uses to which it is put.

Every time we witness an injustice and do not act, we train our character to be passive in its presence and thereby eventually lose all ability to defend ourselves and those we love. In a modern economy it is impossible to seal oneself off from injustice.

To be of no church is dangerous. Religion, of which the rewards are distant, and which is animated only by faith and hope, will glide by degrees out of the mind unless it be invigorated and reimpressed by external ordinances, by stated calls to worship, and the salutary influence of example.
