Come ye unto me, my children, and be glad. At the end of labour is the power of labour. And in my stability is concentrated eternal change. For the whirlings of the universe are but the course of the blood in my heart. And the unspeakable variety thereof is but my divers hairs, and plumes, and gems in my tall crown.

Their whole education and training must be directed towards giving them a conviction that they are superior to others [wrote HitlerJ.

We need to extend to the whole of society the peculiar feeling which obtains in our most successful insti- tutions, such as the services, the universities, the clubs. Heaven and hell are states of mind; and if the devil be really proud, his hell can hurt him little.
