Great Change Quotes - Page 3

• When the accumulation of wealth is no longer of high social importance, there will be great changes in the code of morals.

• Hasta ahora es dudoso que todos los inventos mecánicos que se han hecho hayan aligerado el trabajo diario de algún ser humano. Han permitido a una mayor población vivir la misma vida de trabajo penoso y encarcelamiento, y a un mayor número de fabricantes y otras personas hacer fortunas. Han aumentado las comodidades de las clases medias. Pero aún no han comenzado a efectuar esos grandes cambios en el destino humano, que está en su naturaleza y en su futuro llevar a cabo.

• A life of mere pleasure! A little while, in the spring-time of the senses, in the sunshine of prosperity, in the jubilee of health, it may seem well enough. But how insufficient, how mean, how terrible when age comes, and sorrow, and death! A life of pleasure! What does it look like when these great changes beat against it--when the realities of eternity stream in? It looks like the fragments of a feast, when the sun shines upon the withered garlands, and the tinsel, and the overturned tables, and the dead lees of wine.
