Humanity is the center of all creation, and the proper object of all
our striving.
Humanity knows no dividing line, and whoever lays them down will simply
sow the seeds of sorrow and trouble.
Despite all the cheap ways in which the world indulges, its real hunger
is for genuine worth, unveneered culture, real character.
When one has made a living, he has not necessarily lived.---Earth and its
physical necessities are only the stage and the setting for the drama.
The play itself lies beyond them and is separate from them.
The world is ready for anything that spells deliverance, and nothing will
deliver humanity save rightness of heart.
There is no place in the modern conception of government for any regime
which does not strive to better the condition of the people within its
scope of power. In these times, we see with increasing clearness that
there is but one worthy conception of kingliness, and that it is the
kingliness of service.
The emphasis of Jesus was upon the human being. He held all men in much
the same esteem, for to Him a human being was inherently worthy of
respect and honor.
The human soul, however, was not made to perish. It is a thing of
universal interests and eternal possibilities. It is life in its highest
terms, and it was life with which Jesus was essentially concerned.
It is the glad service which lifts the world a little farther in its
long, hard climb.
The human struggle will always be in the direction of whatever is
considered great. We shall always struggle to become like that which we
most admire. Therefore, it is important that we shall most admire the
thing that is best.
Where humanity is regnant and ascendent everything else is certain to be
at its best.
