"Making allowances for human imperfections, I do feel that in America the most valuable thing in life is possible, the development of the individual and his creative powers."--Albert Einstein, 1870-1955. From the series Great Ideas of Western Man. (Feliks Topolski, ca. 1957)

"Providence has not created mankind entirely independent or entirely free. It is true that around every man a fatal circle is traced beyond which he cannot pass, but within the wide verge of that circle he is powerful and free; as it is with man, so with communities. The nations of our time cannot prevent the conditions of men from becoming equal; but it depends upon themselves whether the principle of equality is to lead them to servitude or freedom, to knowledge or barbarism, to prosperity or wretchedness."--Alexis de Tocqueville, 1835. From the series Great Ideas of Western Man. (Feliks Topolski, 1952)
