In a word , he was , within the range of his friendships - a range , to be sure , somewhat limited - one of the most gentle , simple-hearted and brotherly of men , a man of almost womanly innocence and purity of life . And why should I not mention those followers of Saint Simon , who fabulised about a truer Christianity of the future , into which they projected all the aspirations of their heated imagination . The Campanella Collection contains a number of examples , among them W. B. Brooke 's Out with Garibaldi ( cover title Campaigns and Exploits of Garibaldi ) , a Ward & Lock yellowback of 1861 , published in the wake of the Sicilian expedition . Whether the proletarianisation of the masses continues or not , whether Marx 's theory of value is exact or not , these and other related questions , while of the greatest importance , do not interest him as a philosopher . And among those religions which preceded it , the most noted is that of advanced Judaism , whose great masses were waiting for the coming of a new Messiah , while its doctrinaires were splitting fine hairs . Economic ruin , the decline of production , are undeniably accompanied by the decline of healthy proletarian psychology ; all of which - tending to drag the proletariat down to the level of a ragged mob and turning outstanding worker elements , with a record of productive activity , into declassed individuals - makes for a situation that more or less favours anarchist tendencies . No one , whether friend or stranger , client or beggar , could come into his presence without feeling at once its warmth and encouragement . This is not the place to investigate , whether this science has exaggerated the extent of this animal nature , whether it has imperfectly interpreted the cases it wanted to study , and whether it has fantastically generalized the results of partial and not very accurate observations . At length , however , a constitution , except for a rheumatic tendency , thoroughly sound , an indomitable will , a courage that never gave up , and a strong faith that he was to be and to do something worthy of note , raised him from his bed , and sent him again , though on crutches , into the world of active life . People with the most diversified livelihoods , education , power , adaptability and security , among other factors , are most likely to cope with adverse environmental change , because they are more secure . The rheumatic trouble did not affect the brain , and while confined to his bed he managed to prosecute his studies , and , among other things , to write various short poems , many of them of undoubted merit , which , in 1843 , while still confined to his bed , he collected and published in a book entitled " Chips from the Workshop . The most difficult and thorny problem in all the history of Christianity is precisely this : To understand by what means a sect of perfect equals was turned , in the course of but two centuries , into an association divided into hierarchic ranks , so that we have on one side the mass of believers , and on the other the clergy invested with sacred powers . " See page 124 of my work on " Moral Liberty , " " The primitive state of human consciousness , while typical of the primitive epoch of social development , still continues and perpetuates itself in subsequent historical periods , because it aquires a certain degree of lasting power through habit and fixes its expression in myths and primitive poetry . Of course he availed himself of all the means of education , in the way of schools and debating clubs , within his reach , but of more consequence was his own zealous and vigorous study , without the aid of instructors . Law , Shakespeare and the Bible were his constant study , while history filled up the time not given to others . Those who are least vulnerable cope the best and enjoy security , while the opposite applies to those households , communities or broader populations who are most vulnerable and who stand to lose the most from the effects of environmental change and other risks , shocks or stresses . It is not always an easy matter to understand fully , how the experienced facts of nature and social life are transformed , at certain determined times and under certain determined ethnological conditions , and after passing through the crucible of some particular fantasy , into persons , gods , angels , demons , and then into attributes , emanations , and ornaments of these same personifications , and finally into such abstract and metaphysical entities as The Logos , infinite Goodness , supreme Justice , etc. On this field of derived and complicated psychic production we are still far removed from the most elementary conditions necessary to enable us by observation and experiment to follow the rise and development of the first sensations from one extreme to the other , that is , from the peripheral apparatus to the cerebral centers , in which the irritations and vibrations are converted into conscious apperception , into consciousness . The Johannesburg Plan of Implementation , agreed at the World Summit on Sustainable Development in 2002 , includes commitments to diversify energy supply and to increase substantially the global share of renewable energy sources ; to improve access to reliable , affordable , economically viable , socially acceptable and environmentally sound energy services and resources ; and to establish domestic programmes for energy efficiency , among other things . From the outset of his professional career Mr. Ives could always readily and aptly express his ideas , whether to his client at the office , or to the court or jury . We ran for Congress on opposite tickets twice , and yet in all our controversies , whether of a legal or political nature , I bear this testimony , that I never knew Brother Hyde to do a mean , unfair or ungenerous act , and in all our intercourse there never arose a shade of unpleasantness between us , either personal , professional , or political . But literary expressions are but relative indices , specific sediments , particular cases , among this mass of social transmutations .
