The problem of how we finance the welfare state should not obscure a separate issue: if each person thinks he has an inalienable right to welfare no matter what happens to the world that's not equity it's just creating a society where you can't ask anything of people.

A person needs at intervals to separate himself from family and companions and go to new places. He must go without his familiars in order to be open to influences to change.

There can be hope only for a society which acts as one big family not as many separate ones.

Leave the matter of religion to the family altar the church and the private school supported entirely by private contributions. Keep the church and state forever separate.

Happy is said to be the family which can eat onions together. They are for the time being separate from the world and have a harmony of aspiration.
