More From Thomas Reid

Segregation was ugly but we made something good out of something ugly. since we were not welcome in other places run by white people, we were forced by circumstances to let our dollars circulate in our own communities. when you were young and i was young, there was a plethora of black businesses. but when white folks said, "yes, come and spend your money with us," we ran downtown when we could only pass through downtown. now downtown has our money.

I have been interested in the 12th century since my 20s when it was very fashionable to say of anybody with whom you disagreed, which was basically anybody over the age of 30, "one of the great minds of the 12th century", and one day i thought, "i don't know anything about the 12 century." so i started buying books, reading about it, and i discovered it was a period of great flowering, it was a renaissance before what we think is the renaissance, the italian renaissance of the 16th century.

The notion - and i tell you this one even worries me that it extends into new urbanism - the notion of the shopping center [as] a valid kind of downtown. that's taken over. it's very hard for architects of this generation even to think in terms of a downtown or a center that is owned by all different people, with different ideas.

We have a religious renaissance today in america, as many people say. i would say this religious renaissance, ninety percent of it is the greatest danger true religious experience has ever been confronted with.

I am so much a unitarian as this: that i believe the human mind can admit but one god, and that every effort to pay religious homage to more than one being goes to take away all right ideas.

There are men who think themselves too wise to be religious.

Some people keep god in a sunday morning box and say, 'hey, i did my religious duty.' that's fine, but the scripture says to pray without ceasing. and i think that means all through the day you're talking to god. even if it's in your thoughts.
Religious Morning Mean
I urge our people everywhere, with all of the persuasiveness of which i am capable, to live worthy to hold a temple recommend, to secure one and regard it as a precious asset, and to make a greater effort to go to the house of the lord and partake of the spirit and the blessings to be had therein.
