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

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

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.

A remarkable feature of the humanitarian movement, on both its sentimental and utilitarian sides, has been its preoccupation with the lot of the masses.

The humanitarian would, of course, have us meddle in foreign affairs as part of his program of world service.

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

We must not, however, be like the leaders of the great romantic revolt who, in their eagerness to get rid of the husk of convention, disregarded also the humane aspiration.
