It's Always Wise To Seek The Truth

Freedom Is Necessary For Two Reasons. It's Necessary For The Individual, Because The Individual, No Matter How Good The Society Is, Every Individual Has Hopes, Fears, Ambitions, Creative Urges, That Transcend The Purposes Of His Society. Therefore We Have A Long History Of Freedom, Where People Try To Extricate Themselves From Tyranny For The Sake Of Art, For The Sake Of Science, For The Sake Of Religion, For The Sake Of The Conscience Of The Individual - This Freedom Is Necessary For The Individual.

Nothing That Is Worth Doing Can Be Achieved In Our Lifetime; Therefore We Must Be Saved By Hope. Nothing Which Is True Or Beautiful Or Good Makes Complete Sense In Any Immediate Context Of History; Therefore We Must Be Saved By Faith. Nothing We Do, However Virtuous, Can Be Accomplished Alone; Therefore We Must Be Saved By Love. No Virtuous Act Is Quite As Virtuous From The Standpoint Of Our Friend Or Foe As It Is From Our Standpoint. Therefore We Must Be Saved By The Final Form Of Love Which Is Forgiveness.

There Is No Social Evil, No Form Of Injustice Whether Of The Feudal Or The Capitalist Order Which Has Not Been Sanctified In Some Way Or Other By Religious Sentiment And Thereby Rendered More Impervious To Change.

I Think I Should Know How To Educate A Boy, But Not A Girl; I Should Be In Danger Of Making Her Too Learned.

We Have Had To Learn That History Is Neither A God Nor A Redeemer.
