Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Childishness and Brutality of the Time: Some Plain Truths in Plain Language, Supplemented by Sundry Discursive Essays and Narratives I have for a certain number of years concluded that our present age has become vastly too swift for that which, by a contradictory metaphor, may be called, "safe-running." I do not think I shall be corrected to exactness in averring that, for most purposes of truth and of cool, sound judgment, a previous time was very greatly superior to the hasty and conceited period in which we live. There are various reasons for this falling off. Principally among these causes are love of show, love of money, love of self. All these are good qualities in moderation; but, exaggerated and forced to an extreme, it needs no modern Diogenes - with his proverbial lantern to light him in his search for the "honest man," or, as the best Greek readers assure us is the meaning, the "Man" - to know that they fail.
