no quicksand of cowardice -
superstition fading from bones,
as we rise above the prejudice.”

“The "great" commitment all too easily obscures the "little" one. But without the humility and warmth which you have to develop in your relations to the few with whom you are personally involved, you will never be able to do anything for the many. Without them, you will live in a world of abstractions, where your solipsism, your greed for power, and your death-wish lack the one opponent which is stronger than they—love. Love, which is without an object, the outflowing of a power released by self-surrender, but which would remain a sublime sort of superhuman self-assertion, powerless against the negative forces within you, if it were not tamed by the yoke of human intimacy and warmed by its tenderness. It is better for the health of the soul to make one man good than "to sacrifice oneself for mankind." For a mature man, these are not alternatives, but two aspects of self-realization, which mutually support each other, both being the outcome of one and the same choice.”

“Secular humanism is the religious practice of humanism by laymen. The application of humanism by school teachers, legislators, and judges is secular humanism. Its application in churches by the clergy is clerical humanism.”
“I keep facts-n-faith both in my back pocket, my chest pocket is always empty - nothing must hinder the light of heart, set your heart ablaze, unfiltered by frivolity.”

“Each of you are the world's remedy,
each of you are light to life -
breathing testament to possibility,
walk, and weave the world civilized!”
