When it comes to human dignity, we cannot make compromises.
A man’s value depends upon his courage and resolution, his veracity depends upon his traits of nobility and self respect and his chastity depends upon his sense of honour.
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.
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.
I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will.
Rendering help to another is the function of all human beings.
The superior man does not embark upon any affair until he has carefully planned the start.
