re　the　makers　of　the　after…world；　the　architects　of　heaven。　The　world　is　beautiful　because　they　have　lived；without　them；　laboring　humanity　would　perish。

He　who　cherishes　a　beautiful　vision；　a　lofty　ideal　in　his　heart；　will　one　day　realize　it。　Columbus　cherished　a　vision　of　another　world；　and　he　discovered　it；　Copernicus　fostered　the　vision　of　a　multiplicity　of　worlds　and　a　wider　universe；　and　he　revealed　it；　Buddha　beheld　the　vision　of　a　spiritual　world　of　stainless　beauty　and　perfect　peace；　and　he　entered　into　it。
