The Marvels of Silent Work
The immense power harnessed by the Sun and the air to lift water from the oceans in form of clouds, transport it across vast distances, and release it as rain is beyond imagination.
Engineers have calculated that the energy required to create and lift vapor from one acre of the Earth's surface equals the power of thirty horses. For the entire planet, this force is 800 times greater than all the natural water power combined.
Mother Nature has been performing this extraordinary task for the benefit of humankind since the dawn of time.
Human achievements of similar magnitude, accomplished quietly through moral and intellectual strength, reveal such phenomena. The influence of ideas alone has permeated entire nations, crossed oceans, and transformed the very foundations of human society.
A single book can carry the silent force of thought, inspiring masses in one country and inciting action against another. World War I, World War II, and numerous regional and continental conflicts were the result of such ideas.
