A Game of Cards By Norman Cousins Ever since I was old enough to read books on philosophy, I have been intrigued by the discussions on the nature of man. The philosophers have been debating for years about whether man is primarily good or primarily e
Causes Are People By Susan Parker Cobbs It has not been easy for me to meet this assignment. We have so many changing and transitory beliefs besides the ones most central to our lives. I hope that what I say wont sound either too simple or too pious.
A sort of unselfish selfishness by WARD GREENE When a man is ten, he has a boy's faith in almost everthing: even Santa Claus is a belief he is not quite ready to give up so long as there is a chance the old gentleman may really live and deliver. When
Do You Know Your Special Talent? by Anne Heywood What I am about to say may appear to be plugging my own business, but it's what I know best ... and I believe it deeply and sincerely. I believe that every human being has a talent - something that he
Freedom is Worth the Risk The philosopher George Santayana, at the age of eighty-eight, admitted that things no longer seemed so simple to him as they did fifty years ago. Even those of use who have not reached Mr. Santayanas age must share that feel
The Art of Bouncing Back by Joyce Grenfell I think the center of my faith is an absolute certainty of good. Like everyone else, I get low and there are times when I feel as if I have my fins backwards and am swimming upstream in heavy boots. But even
What Makes Me Feel Big by J. Frank Dobie My mind is big when I look at you and talk to you, Chief Eagle of the Pawnees said to George Bird Grinnell when, after years of absence, that noble writer appeared at his friend's tepee. It is very difficult i
About Secrets and Falling Tiles By Carroll Binder We are all at the mercy of a falling tile, Julius Caesar reminds us in Thornton Wilders Ides of March. None of us knows at what hour something we may love may suffer some terrible blow by a force we c
What Does God Say to Me? by Dame Edith Evans I believe that good is stronger than evil. I have found that if applied with complete faith, it can obliterate evil. Knowledge like this gives one great strength in time of oppression or tyranny. I believe
Flotsam, Jetsam, and Liberty By James Carey Perhaps more than anything else in the world, I believe in liberty: liberty for myself, liberty for my fellow men. I cannot forget the legend engraved on the base of the Statue of Liberty on Bedlows Island
A Lesson Learned at Midnight By James Q. DuPont Ever since one midnight, in nineteen hundred and nine, when I first heard my mother crying, I have been groping for beliefs to help me through the rough going and confusions of life. My dads voice was l
A Straight Wall Is Hard to Build By Lou R. Crandall As I try to outline my thoughts, the subject becomes more and more difficult. I have many basic beliefs, but as I try to pick and choose, it seems to me that they can all be summarized in the word c
We Cant Just Play with sports I believe that the greatest frontier of our ignorance lies in the relationship of man to man. I do not discount in the marvelous development in the world of things, nor do I devaluate the contributions of those who made

A Ball to Roll Around By Robert Allman I lost my sight when I was 4 years old by falling off a boxcar in a freight yard in Atlantic City, New Jersey, and landing on my head. Now, I am 32. I can vaguely remember the brightness of sunshine and what col

Paying the Rent of Service By Lee Bristol In a complex society and a complex civilization, the individual is inevitably confused much of the time. But I believe that the basic solution of all world and group problems must first be solved by the indiv
