What we turn out

The true test of civilization is, not the census nor the size of cities, nor the crops—no, but the kind of man the country turns out. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

In a living civilization there is always an element of unrest, for sensitiveness to ideas means curiosity, adventure, change. Civilized order survives on its merits and is transformed by its power of recognizing its imperfections.-  Alfred North Whitehead
