Dr. Emanuel Bronner created "Dr. Bronner's Magic Soap" in 1947 after he escaped a mental institution. The soap is liquid and peppermint-infused and the bottles really stand out. They're covered in white text -- over 30,000 words -- of quotes ranging from Abraham Lincoln to Mother Teresa. Sort of odd for a soap bottle. Weekend America talks with Emanuel Bronner's son, Ralph Bronner, about his eccentric dad's mission, that reached far beyond soap.
An Excerpt from Dr. Bronner's PEPPERMINT 18-in-1
The whole World is our country, our Fatherland, because all mankind areborn its Citizens! We're all Brothers and Sisters because One,ever-loving Eternal Father is our only God, our only Religion, thatRe-unites God's legion! For we're All-One or none. "Listen ChildrenEternal Father Eternal One!"
There are brave souls who dare to dream that men are brothers and notfoes, That hands may clasp across the seas to common good, to commonwoes. That beneath God's Law, the Essene Moral ABC, that 6 billionstrong unites All-One- God-Faith men will embrace in brother-love tonever kill in bitter hate. Who dare to hear the mighty truth,reverberating through long years, that faith- love-courage conquer fear& teamwork heal a nation's tears. Though flood & fire sweep the oldearth's sod, & raging wars and evils wreck its calm, still through theawful tumult there is God our glorious world within His upraised palm.Among the journeying stars, the moon, the sun that have not failedbecause of that great might, with other pilgrim planets, we are one heldin His hand, kept in His steadfast sight. Amidst the cannons roar youcan hear God's voice: "Replace half truth, our real enemy, that age oldhate" with full truth, hard work, God's Law uniting mankind inAll-One-God-Faith! For centuries man struggles half asleep, half living,small & jealous, bickering with mountains of red tape to be awakened,the night God chose giving His great reward for hard work: Poetry,uniting Love, evolving man above the ape! Machine age man is full ofsense & nonsense, fear, greed & jealousy, destroy his every land; Today,this whole wide world craves love-faith-courage united by the Moral ABCwe stand!FROM THE ARMY OF PRINCIPLES BY THOS. PAINE, 1799:_________________________________________

THE MORAL ABC, INTRODUCED BY KIPLING'S "IF"and SOAPMAKER BRONNERIf you can talk to crowds & keep your virtue, or walk with kings & notlose that common touch! If neither loving friend nor enemy can hurt you;If all men count with you, but no one too much! If you can work hard toteach each unforgiving minute All-One-God-Faith mason Hillel taughtcarpenter Jesus to unite the Human race, come hell, hate, ban, you'llenjoy God's Spaceship Earth & do great work within it; & which is moremy son, you'll be a man! A Man! Sure, East is East & West is West &never the twain shall meet! But there is neither East nor West, norborder, breed nor birth, once the Moral ABC unites all mankind free onGod's spaceship Earth! Then & only then, no matter how rough the trip,how charged with punishment the scroll, you are the captain of thy ship,the master of thy soul!
