The book of nature…
If a little pebble can tell you so much, how much more could we learn from all the rocks and mountains and many other things we see around us?
the relationships of languages…
You will see that most of us now living in different countries far from each other long ago were one people. We have changed greatly since then and many of us have forgotten our old relationships. In every country people imagine that they are the best and the cleverest and the others are not as good as they are…. … But really there is no person who has not got some good in him and some bad. And in the same way there is no country which is not partly good and partly bad.
civilization…
You will say that it is not easy to understand what civilization means, and you will be right. It is a very difficult question. Fine buildings, fine pictures and books and everything that is beautiful are certainly signs of civilization. But an even better sign is a fine man whoc is unselfish and works with others for good of all. TO work together is better than to work singly, and to work together for common good is the best of all.
how religions began…
… … we see even today that people fight and break each other’s head in the name of religion. And for many people it is still something to be afraid of. They spend their time in trying to please some imaginary beings by making presents in temples and even sacrifices of animals.
