There is nothing more tragic in all the world than to know right and not to do it.

Not everybody can be famous but everybody can be great, because greatness is determined by service.

We all have the drum major instinct. We all want to be important, to surpass others, to achieve distinction, to lead the parade.

Evil must be attacked by. . . the day to day assault of the battering rams of justice.

Was not Jesus an extremist for love: "Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you." Was not Amos an extremist for justice: "Let justice roll down like waters and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream." Was not Paul an extremist for the Christian gospel: "I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus."

The surest way to be happy is to seek happiness for others.
