Very little of the great cruelty shown by men can really be attributed to cruel instinct. Most of it comes from thoughtlessness or inherited habit. The roots of cruelty, therefore, are not so much strong as widespread. But the time must come when inhumanity protected by custom and thoughtlessness will succumb before humanity championed by thought. Let us work that this time may come.

Let your life be your argument.

Truth has no special time of its own. Its hour is now - always.

The stronger the reverence for natural life, the stronger grows also that for spiritual life.

Let me give you a definition of ethics: It is good to maintain and further life it is bad to damage and destroy life.

Once a man recognizes himself as a being surrounded by other beings in this world and begins to respect his life and take it to the highest value, he becomes a thinking being. Then he values other lives and experiences them as part of his own life. With that, his goal is to help everyone take their life to the highest value; anything which limits or destroys a life is evil. That is morality. That is how men are related to the world around them.

Knowing all truth is less than doing a little bit of good.
