We must speak out on major world issues, courageously, openly and honestly, and in blunt terms of morality. If We yeild to blandishment or threats, if We compromise when no hounourable compromise is possible, Our influence will be sadly diminished and Our prestige woefully prejudiced and weakened. Let Us not deny Our ideals or sacrifice Our right to stand as the champions of the poor, the ignorant, the oppressed everywhere.
When no one upholds the cause of morality and justice for thier own sake, when the small, still voice of conscience speaks no longer, immorality and lack of principle have triumphed, and in this history all of humankind is the loser.
If We raise Our voices against injustice, wherever it is found, if We demand a stop to aggression wherever it occurs and under whatever guise and brand the aggressor as such, and if We do so on a wholly impartial basis, We can serve as the collective consience of the world.

People desire many things, but it is the individual's duty and responsbilty to desire the proper things.
A noble failure may be of more value than a petty success.
Anyone who makes the wrong choices will be a burden, not only to themselves but to future generations.
though life is often short, one should live and act in such a way that their achievements will bring them and their country a good name forever. If they do not use their training for worthy ends, they will be an enemy to themselves and an obstacle to others. they will, indeed, be sick while supposedly heathy and dead while still alive.
The obligation to improve oneself does not cease simply because one has a regular job.
Simply watching other peoples achievements is a characteristic of the lazy person.
There is no person in this world who is free from lifes responsibilty.
If the wealth of a person cannot be for the general welfare, what would they gain for themself and their offspring but grudge and hatered?
A qualified person with vision, unmoved by daily selfish interests, will be led to moral decisions by their conscience......
