Democracy is now going forth on a crusade against imperialism.

If we are to have such a discipline we must have standards, and to get our standards under existing conditions we must have criticism.

The true humanist maintains a just balance between sympathy and selection.

For behind all imperialism is ultimately the imperialistic individual, just as behind all peace is ultimately the peaceful individual.

A person who has sympathy for mankind in the lump, faith in its future progress, and desire to serve the great cause of this progress, should be called not a humanist, but a humanitarian, and his creed may be designated as humanitarianism.

Act strenuously, would appear to be our faith, and right thinking will take care of itself.

It is well to open one's mind but only as a preliminary to closing it ... for the supreme act of judgment and selection.
