Will Durant Quotes
E Have Become Wealthy, And Wealth Is The Prelude To Art. In Every Country Where Centuries Of Physical Effort Have Accumulated The Means For Luxury And Leisure, Culture Has Followed As Naturally As Vegetation Grows In A Rich And Watered Soil. To Have Become Wealthy Was The First Necessity; A People Too Must Live Before It Can Philosophize. No Doubt We Have Grown Faster Than Nations Usually Have Grown; And The Disorder Of Our Souls Is Due To The Rapidity Of Our Development. We Are Like Youths Disturbed And Unbalanced, For A Time, By The Sudden Growth And Experiences Of Puberty. But Soon Our Maturity Will Come; Our Minds Will Catch Up With Our Bodies, Our Culture With Our Possessions. Perhaps There Are Greater Souls Than Shakespeare's, And Greater Minds Than Plato's, Waiting To Be Born. When We Have Learned To Reverence Liberty As Well As Wealth, We Too Shall Have Our Renaissance.
