“To him for whom great Nature revealeth not her art, 
A thousand Athens and a thousand Romes could not the truth

Organization is all right, but genius is better, and hundreds 
of public and private organizations cannot accomplish as much 
as the intellect of one genius. They must understand and sup¬ 
port each other. Talent, which is the foundation of the organi¬ 
zation, must learn to understand genius; he must not hold him¬ 
self aloof from him, but must try to get into closer contact with 
him and at the proper time subordinate himself to him. Talent 
must find genius. That simply means that he must give free 
rein to genius; he must give the right of way to genius no mat¬ 
ter to what class he belongs, no matter if he is a member of a 
certain school or caste. Talent must give up his egoistic de¬ 
sires to rule and command genius; he must give genius abso¬ 
lute freedom. In times like these, when it is necessary that all 
good talents work in harmony with genius, the spirit of the 
times must be the dominating factor, and all feelings of personal 
gain must be suppressed for the welfare of all mankind. 
There is a common tendency to cling to old ways and methods. 
Every innovation has to fight for its life, and every good thing 
has been condemned in its day and generation. 
Error once set in motion continues indefinitely unless blocked 
by a stronger force; and old ways will always remain unless 
some one invents a new way and then lives and dies for it. 
(t Nihil mihi antiquius est,” said Cicero. And thus he spoke 
his love for the past. In China “my elder brother” and “How 
old you look” are forms of greeting. Search yourself, delve deep 
within you, and you will find that you too, cling to the past. To 
break that belief you have held so long is no light task. It is 
man's nature so to be. Hence struggle for that which is new.
