"The
hero is one who kindles a great light in the world, who sets up blazing torches
in the dark streets of life for men to see by.”
“Every
dogma, every philosophic or theological creed, was at its inception a statement
in terms of the intellect of a certain inner experience.”
“The
unique personality which is the real life in me, I can not gain unless I search
for the real life, the spiritual quality, in others. I am myself spiritually dead
unless I reach out to the fine quality dormant in others. For it is only with
the god enthroned in the innermost shrine of the other, that the god hidden in
me, will consent to appear.”
Every
outcry against the oppression of some people by other people, or against what
is morally hideous is the affirmation of the principle that a human being as such
is not to be violated. A human being is not to be handled as a tool but is to
be respected and revered.”
“Ethical
religion can be real only to those who are engaged in ceaseless efforts at moral
improvement. By moving upward we acquire faith in an upward movement, without
limit.”
“The
family is the school of duties - founded on love”
“Love
of country is like love of woman - he loves her best who seeks to bestow on her
the highest good”
“Love
is the expansion of two natures in such fashion that each include the other, each
is enriched by the other.”
In
a country of such recent civilization as ours, whose almost limitless treasures
of material wealth invite the risks of capital and the industry of labor, it is
but natural that material interests should absorb the attention of the people
to a degree elsewhere unknown.
The
freedom of thought is a sacred right of every individual man, and diversity will
continue to increase with the progress, refinement, and differentiation of the
human intellect.
The
past speaks to us in a thousand voices, warning and comforting, animating and
stirring to action.
