“I wish more of us could understand that our increasing isolation, no matter how much it seems to express pride and self-affirmation, is not the answer to our problems. Rather, the answer is a revival of our ancient commitment to God, who rules over all the peoples of the world and exalts no one over any other, and to the moral and spiritual values which were once legendary in America. We must reach out our hand in friendship both to those who would befriend us and those who would be our enemy.” WorldSelfMatterProblemHandsSeemsWould BeAmericaSpiritualValuesWishAnswersMoralEnemyPrideCommitmentAncientIsolationReach OutAffirmationRevivalCommitment To GodLegendarySpiritual ValuesSelf Affirmation Author:Arthur Ashe
