Western culture is deservedly exceptional. No other tradition has given the individual such security, freedom, and prosperity.

The Athens-Jerusalem mixture of Christian humility (and guilt) and the classical Socratic introspection combined in the West to make it a particularly self-reflective and self-critical society, in a way completely untrue of other traditions.

Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits flame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power.

 

America is great because America is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great.
