A labor of love is exalted because it provides joy and self-expression to those who perform it.”

“America is not the crude stereotype of a self-interested empire. The United States has been one of the greatest sources of progress that the world has ever known. We were born out of revolution against an empire. We were founded upon the ideal that all are created equal.

Drawn from every end of the Earth, and dedicated to a simple concept, E pluribus unum: Out of many, one.”

The older faith taught that the very condition of progress was the limitation of power to the capacity and the virtue of rulers.”

“Technology has a shadow side. It accounts for real progress in medicine, but has also hurt it in many ways, making it more impersonal, expensive and dangerous.

Our life becomes richer and deeper for having encountered differences.”
