Every one of us is blind and deaf until our eyes are opened to our fellowmen, until our ears hear the voice of humanity.

World peace will never come until the passion of supremacy is combated.

To be blind is bad, but worse is to have eyes and not see.

Good friends walk in when the old ones walk out.

I regard philanthropy as a tragic apology for wrong conditions under which human beings live.

Few pleasures there are indeed without an aftertouch of pain, but that is the preservation which keeps them sweet.

I trust, and I recognize the beneficence of the power which we all worship as supreme- Order, Fate, the Great Spirit, Nature, God. I recognize this power in the sun that makes all things grow and keeps life afoot. I make a friend of this indefinable force…this is my religion of optimism.
