Lincoln, the Man of the People

We have committed the Golden Rule to memory; let us now commit it to life.

Mr. Rihani is a man of ardent poetic temperament, a clever poet, and a man of unworldly ideals.

I (God) will leave man to make the fateful guess, Will leave him torn between the no and yes, Leave him unresting till he rests in me, Drawn upward by the choice that makes him free, Leave him in tragic loneliness to choose, With all in life to win or all to lose.

In vain we build the city if we do not first build the man.

The future life is where we will go on helping to bring the universe to perfection, which is God's grand ultimate aim. [The purpose of life] is to help God run the universe. Everyone in that better land will be busy all the time, and the environment will be perfect all the time for doing the work which God assigns to all.

That in the human plan nothing is worth the making if it does not make the man.
