  1. “Vision” or “Revelation” Proverbs 29:18

  2. “Yet our distress comes from no failure of substance. We are stricken by no plague of locusts. Compared with the perils which our forefathers conquered because they believed & were not afraid, we have still much to be thankful for. Nature still offers her bounty & human efforts have multipli-ed it. Plenty is at our doorstep, but a gen-erous use of it languishes in the very sight of the supply.” • -- Inaugural Speech: Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Washington, D.C. on March 4th, 1933

  3. Primarily, this is because the rulers of the exchange of mankind's goods have failed through their own stubbornness & their own incompetence, have admitted their failures & abdicated. Practices of the unscrupulous money changers stand indicted in the court of public opinion, rejected by the hearts & minds of men…They have no vision, & when there is no vision the people perish. • -- Inaugural Speech: Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Washington, D.C. on March 4th, 1933.
