Contrary To What People Think, I Slave

I Am A Humanist Because I Think Humanity Can, With Constant Moral Guidance, Create Reasonably Decent Societies. I Think That Young People Who Want To Understand The World Can Profit From The Works Of Plato And Socrates, The Behaviour Of The Three Thomases, Aquinas, More And Jefferson - The Austere Analyses Of Immanuel Kant And The Political Leadership Of Abraham Lincoln And Franklin Roosevelt.

Russia, France, Germany And China. They Revere Their Writers. America Is Still A Frontier Country That Almost Shudders At The Idea Of Creative Expression.

I Think Young People Ought To Seek The Experience That Is Going To Knock Them Off Center.

Religious Hatreds Ought Not To Be Propagated At All, But Certainly Not On A Tax-exempt Basis.

Every Animal That Walks The Earth, Or Swims, Or Flies Is Precious Beyond Description, Something So Rare And Wonderful That It Equals The Stars Or The Ocean Or The Mind Of Man.
