I have always seen life personally; my interest or sympathy or indignation is not aroused by an abstract cause but by the plight of a single person...Out of my response to an individual develops an awareness of a problem to the community, then to the country, then to the world.

When all is said and done, and statesmen discuss the future of the world, the fact remains that people fight these wars.

As life developed, I faced each problem as it came along. As my activities and work broadened and reached out, I never tried to shirk. I tried never to evade an issue. When I found I had something to do--I just did it.

There is in every country an antipathy to the foreigner.

Each generation supposes that the world was simpler for the one before it.
