Charles A. Lindbergh, Reader's Digest, Nov. 1939

We need peace to let our best men live to work out those more
subtle, but equally dangerous, problems brought by this new
environment in which we dwell, to give us time to turn this
materialistic trend, to stop prostrating ourselves before this
modern idol of mechanical efficiency, to find means of combining
freedom, spirit, and beauty with industrial life - a peace which
will bring character, strength, and security back to Western
peoples.
What goes around, comes around. Change a few names and nuances, and it
could have been written yesterday.
It appears Lindy also loved the super sentence: the one above is all one
sentence!
