No One Culture Has Ever Developed All

Culture, With Its Processes And Functions, Is A Subject Upon Which We Need All The Enlightenment We Can Achieve, And There Is No Direction In Which We Can Seek With Greater Reward Than In The Facts Of Pre-literate Societies.

Society In Its Full Sense . . . Is Never An Entity Separable From The Individuals Who Compose It.

The Trouble Is Not That We Are Never Happy-it Is That Happiness Is So Episodical.

An Observer Will See The Bizarre Developments Of Behavior Only In Alien Cultures, Not His Own. Nevertheless This Is Obviously A Local And Temporary Bias. There Is No Reason To Suppose That Any One Culture Has Seized Upon An Eternal Sanity And Will Stand In History As A Solitary Solution Of The Human Problem. Even The Next Generation Knows Better. Our Only Scientific Course Is To Consider Our Own Culture, So Far As We Are Able, As One Example Among Innumerable Others Of The Variant Configurations Of Human Culture.

Faith Is The Virtue Of The Storm, Just As Happiness Is The Virtue Of Sunshine.
