The most important thing in any relationship is not what you get but what you give.... In any case, the giving of love is an education in itself.

Think as little as possible about yourself and as much as possible about other people.

The basis of all good human behavior is kindness.

Nothing alive can stand still, it goes forward or back. Life is interesting only as long as it is a process of growth; or, to put it another way, we can only grow as long as we are interested.

We cannot exist as a little island of well-being in a world where two-thirds of the people go to bed hungry every night.

Strength that goes wrong is even more dangerous than weakness that goes wrong.

Smearing good people like Lauchlin Currie [former administrative assistant to President Roosevelt], Alger Hiss and others is, I think, unforgiveable... Anyone knowing Mr. Currie or Mr. Hiss, who are the two people whom I happen to know fairly well, would not need any denial on their part to know they are not Communists. Their records prove it.
