The intuition of free will gives us the truth.

For the Humanist, . . . head and heart . . . must function together. . . . The constitution of the Phillips Exeter Academy reads: 'Though goodness without knowledge . . . is weak and feeble, yet knowledge without goodness is dangerous. . . . Both united form the noblest character and lay the surest foundation of usefulness to mankind.'

Humanism believes that the individual attains the good life by harmoniously combining personal satisfactions and continuous self-development with significant work and other activities that contribute to the welfare of the community.

The act of willing this or that, of choosing among various courses of conduct, is central in the realm of ethics.

Human beings and their actions constitute the advancing front, the surging crest of an ongoing movement that never stops.

The wise man looks at death with honesty, dignity and calm, recognizing that the tragedy it brings is inherent in the great gift of life.

I believe firmly that in making ethical decisions, man has the prerogative of true freedom of choice.
