The individual is capable of both great compassion and great indifference. He has it within his means to nourish the former and outgrow the latter.

The eternal quest of the individual human being is to shatter his loneliness.

He who keeps his cool best wins.

A human being fashions his consequences as surely as he fashions his goods or his dwelling. Nothing that he says, thinks or does is without consequences.

Respect for the fragility and importance of an individual life is still the mark of an educated man.

It makes little difference how many university courses or degrees a person may own. If he cannot use words to move an idea from one point to another, his education is incomplete.
