Evalyn Walsh McLean Quotes
Money and electricity are much alike. Both are stored energy. Living amidst electricity, using it constantly, you take its presence and its utility for granted. Treated with respect, it is constructive, tireless. Treated with disrespect, it is destructive, vicious.

Electricity is insulated, though, and children are not permitted to play with it.

Tolerance has been a very important feature of Christianity from its very roots, despite all the other things that have gone on since. And that, I think, must be the global perspective.

That is the attitude I think needs to inform the global citizen of the future.
