The conception of worth, that each person is an end per se, is not a mere abstraction. Our interest in it is not merely
academic. Every outcry against the oppression of some people by other people, or against what is morally hideous is the
affirmation of the principle that a human being as such is not to be violated. A human being is not to be handled as a tool
but is to be respected and revered.

To put the world right in order, we must first put the nation in order; to put the nation in order, we must first put the
family in order; to put the family in order, we must first cultivate our personal life; we must first set our hearts right.

And now the end is near
And so I face the final curtain,
My friends, I'll say it clear,
I'll state my case of which I'm certain.
I've lived a life that's full, I've travelled each and evr'y highway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way.

I have expressed my strong interest in the mass of the people; and this is founded, not on their usefulness to the community,
so much as on what they are in themselves.... Indeed every man (sic), in every condition, is great. It is only our own
diseased sight which makes him little. A man is great as a man, be he where or what he may. The grandeur of his nature turns
to insignificance all outward distinctions.

It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could
have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and
blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions,
and spends himself in a worthy cause, who at best knows achievement and who at the worst if he fails at least fails while
daring greatly so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Abraham Lincoln did not go to Gettysburg having commissioned a poll to find out what would sell in Gettysburg. There were no
people with percentages for him, cautioning him about this group or that group or what they found in exit polls a year

The Brain—is wider than the Sky—
For—put them side by side—
The one the other will contain
With ease—and You—beside—
