We emphasize that we believe in change because we born of it, we have
lived by it, we prospered and grew great by it. So the status quo has
never been our god, and we ask no one else to bow down before it.
-- Carl T. Rowen
We are afraid of truth, afraid of fortune, afraid of death, and afraid
of each other. Our age yields no great and perfect persons. We want men
and women who shall renovate life and our social state but we see that
most natures are insolvent, cannot satisfy their own wants, have an
ambition out of all proportion to their practical force, and so do lean
and beg day and night continually....
