The Human Spirit Must Prevail Over Technology 1

"The human spirit must prevail over technology."

"It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity."

"“Through every generation of the human race there has been a constant war, a war with fear. Those who have the courage to conquer it are made free and those who are conquered by it are made to suffer until they have the courage to defeat it, or death takes them.”"

"“Those whose acquaintance with scientific research is derived chiefly from its practical results easily develop a completely false notion of the mentality of the men who, surrounded by a skeptical world, have shown the way to kindred spirits scattered wide through the world and through the centuries. Only one who has devoted his life to similar ends can have a vivid realization of what has inspired these men and given them the strength to remain true to their purpose in spite of countless failures. It is cosmic religious feeling that gives a man such strength. A contemporary has said, not unjustly, that in this materialistic age of ours the serious scientific workers are the only profoundly religious people.”"

"“One thing a man must have: either a naturally light disposition or a disposition lightened by art and knowledge.”"

"“Freedom is the only worthy goal in life. It is won by disregarding things that lie beyond our control.”"
