"The ultimate test of a moral society is the kind of world that it leaves to its children." ― Dietrich Bonhoeffer Topic(s): Society More From Dietrich Bonhoeffer "Politics are not the task of a Christian." "The essence of optimism is that it takes no account of the present, but it is a source of inspiration, of vitality and hope where others have resigned; it enables a man to hold his head high, to claim the future for himself and not to abandon it to his enemy." "The test of the morality of a society is what it does for its children." More In Society "Religion and art spring from the same root and are close kin. Economics and art are strangers."― Nathaniel Hawthorne "Women with money and women in power are two uncomfortable ideas in our society."― Candace Bushnell "Stabilizing the euro is one thing, healing the culture that surrounds it is another. A world in which material values are everything and spiritual values nothing is neither a stable state nor a good society. The time has come for us to recover the Judeo-Christian ethic of human dignity in the image of God."― Jonathan Sacks
