Excerpt from Prosperity and Politics
Is anything interfering with your prosperity? Then some one has blundered.
Has it ever occurred to you that all the money you have lost by your own and others' mistakes; that all the time used in correcting your own and others' mistakes, if the mistakes had not been made, could have been used in the "pursuit of happiness?" Think of this! Does it not make clear to you the fact that mistakes are the fruitful source of all troubles and the real obstacles in the way of prosperity and happiness?
Money and time lost by mistakes is the cost of Education through Experience. This is the most uneconomic way of acquiring an Education. Education acquired through reason is much less expensive and far more satisfactory and helpful. Money spent for Education through reason is put to its highest economic use,
When you correct a mistake, you furnish proof that you are wiser than when you made it. Growth in intelligence is evidenced by increased capacity for useful work; greater precision in action; and diminution of of errors in judgment. The acquisition of intelligence is life for the wise, and death for fools.
Is anything interfering with the prosperity of the whole people? Then some one has blundered.
I have undertaken to show you in what form these blunders have been made, why they have been made, and by whom.
