- City living is unwholesome and bad. The ideal life is the
self-sufficient life out on a homestead in the country.
- The one-room country school is the best. The city school is
bad.
- The only acceptable place for raising children is in the
country. To try to do it in the city is foolhardy.
- Working for others is always bad. It is filled with
politics, injustice and pressures to bend or forsake one's
convictions and principles. The ideal is to work for
yourself at something you enjoy doing. Working for others
brings pressures to buckle under to others; prostitute
yourself; participate in sham, injustice and wrong. It
is a lifestyle in which fear, intimidation and feelings of
insecurity are never far away. It is a lifestyle that
tends to destroy integrity and self-respect.
- The simple life is the best. One should always try to keep
life as simple as possible.
