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.

The humanitarian lays stress almost solely upon breadth of knowledge and sympathy.

An American of the present day reading his Sunday newspaper in a state of lazy collapse is one of the most perfect symbols of the triumph of quantity over quality that the world has yet seen.

Very few of the early Italian humanists were really humane.

To say that most of us today are purely expansive is only another way of saying that most of us continue to be more concerned with the quantity than with the quality of our democracy.

The human mind, if it is to keep its sanity, must maintain the nicest balance between unity and plurality.

Democracy is now going forth on a crusade against imperialism.
