Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live.

The main trouble with despair is that it is self-fulfilling. People who fear the worst tend to invite it. Heads that are down can't scan the horizon for new openings. Bursts of energy do not spring from a spirit of defeat. Ultimately, helplessness leads to hopelessness.

Fortunately or otherwise we live at a time when the average individual has to know several times as much in order to keep informed as he did only thirty or forty years ago.

Finally, being "educated" today, in terms of the larger needs, means preparation for world citizenship; in short, education for survival.
