Though we live in the colony of time, we are ultimately responsible to the empire of eternity.

We may have all come on different ships, but we're in the same boat now.

Pity may represent little more than the impersonal concern which prompts the mailing of a check, but true sympathy is the personal concern which demands the giving of one's soul.

A time comes when silence is betrayal. Even when pressed by the demands of inner truth, men do not easily assume the task of opposing their government's policy, especially in time of war. Nor does the human spirit move without great difficulty against all the apathy of conformist thought, within one's own bosom and in the surrounding world.

With the tough mind, there must also be a tender heart.

You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.

Our nettlesome task is to discover how to organize our strength into compelling power.
