Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men.~ Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.No other theory is adequate to explain or comprehend the Declaration of Independence. It is the product of the spiritual insight of the people. We live in an age of science and of abounding accumulation of material things. These did not create our Declaration. Our Declaration created them. The things of the spirit come first. Unless we cling to that, all our material prosperity, overwhelming though it may appear, will turn to a barren sceptre in our grasp. If we are to maintain the great heritage which has been bequeathed to us, we must be like-minded as the fathers who created it. We must not sink into a pagan materialism. We must cultivate the reverence which they had for the things that are holy. We must follow the spiritual and moral leadership which they showed. We must keep replenished, that they may glow with a more compelling flame, the altar fires before which they worshiped.~ Calvin CoolidgeA man has to live with himself, and he should see to it that he always has good company.~ Justice Charles Evans Hughes Share on Facebook Tweet Email Print This quote is found in these categories: About Bio of Quotations by Books by/about videos on Wikipedia
