Hear with your ears, that which is the sovereign good. With a clear mind look upon the two sides, between which each man must choose for himself. Watchful beforehand that the great test may be accomplished in our favour.
Rendering help to another is the function of all human beings.
As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world – that is the myth of the atomic age – as in being able to remake ourselves.
When it comes to human dignity, we cannot make compromises.
The superior man does not embark upon any affair until he has carefully planned the start.
If there is to be a human future, we must bring ourselves into balanced relationship with one another and the Earth. This requires building economies with the heart.
Every person has both a bad heart and a good heart. No matter how good a man seems, he has some evil. No matter how bad a man seems, there is some good about him. No man is perfect.
There are no greater treasures than the highest human qualities such as compassion, courage and hope. Not even tragic accident or disaster can destroy such treasures of the heart.
