“My urgent advice to you would be, not only always to think first of America, but always, also, to think first of humanity. You do not love humanity if you seek to divide humanity into jealous camps. Humanity can be welded together only by love, by sympathy, by justice, not by jealousy and hatred. I am sorry for the man who seeks to make personal capital out of the passions of his fellowmen. He has lost touch with the ideal of America. For America was created to unit mankind.” IfsThinkingMenFirstsWould BeTogetherAmericaHumanityPassionLostJusticeAdviceMankindHe ManIdealsHatredSorryJealousDividesCampsUnitsUrgentI Am SorryAm Sorry Author:Woodrow Wilson
“The man who boldly transgresses, amassing a great heap unjustly--by force, in time, he will strike his sail, when trouble seizes him as the yardarm is splintered. He calls on those who hear nothing and he struggles in the midst of the whirling waters. The god laughs at the hot-headed man, seeing him, who boasted that this would never happen, exhausted by distress without remedy and unable to surmount the cresting wave. He wrecks the happiness of his earlier life on the reef of Justice, and he perishes unwept, unseen.” MenHappensForceWaterJusticeLaughingStruggleSeeingTroubleHe ManHotWaveStrikesMidstRemedySailDistressExhaustedUnseenWrecksReefsHot Headed Author:Aeschylus

“The man who barely abstains from violating either the person, or the estate, or the reputation of his neighbours, has surely very little positive merit. He fulfils, however, all the rules of what is peculiarly called justice, and does every thing which his equals can with propriety force him to do, or which they can punish him for not doing. We may often fulfil all the rules of justice by sitting still and doing nothing.” MenMayLittlesPersonsDoeStillsForceJusticeHe ManSittingReputationMeritEstatesDoing NothingNeighbourProprietySitting Still Book:The Essays on Philosophical Subjects: the Great Master Source: The Essays on Philosophical Subjects: the Great Master

“My personal attitude toward atheists is the same attitude that I have toward Christians, and would be governed by a very orthodox text: "By their fruits shall ye know them." I wouldn't judge a man by the presuppositions of his life, but only by the fruits of his life. And the fruits - the relevant fruits - are, I'd say, a sense of charity, a sense of proportion, a sense of justice. And whether the man is an atheist or a Christian, I would judge him by his fruits, and I have therefore many agnostic friends.” KnowsMenWould BeChristianJusticeAttitudeHe ManJudgingCharityFruitAtheistProportionOrthodoxRelevantAgnostic Author:Reinhold Niebuhr
