Mirtha MichelleIt follows that the word probability, in its mathematical acceptance, has reference to the state of our knowledge of the circumstances under which an event may happen or fail.

No matter what the circumstances, the worst betrayal will always be to subordinate ourselves to this apparatus and to trample underfoot, in its service, all human values in ourselves and in others.

And in thus willing freedom, we discover that it depends entirely upon the freedom of others and that the freedom of others depends upon our own.

I cannot make liberty my aim unless I make that of others equally my aim.
