Courage Means Going Against Majority Opinion In

The Question Is Wholly Other, Deeper And Equally Relevant To All: Whether We Shall, By Whatever Means, Succeed In Reconstituting The Natural World As The True Terrain Of Politics, Rehabilitating The Personal Experience Of Human Beings As The Initial Measure Of Things, Placing Morality Above Politics And Responsibility Above Our Desires, In Making Human Community Meaningful, In Returning Content To Human Speech, In Reconstituting, As The Focus Of All Social Action, The Autonomous, Integral, And Dignified Human "i."

The Kind Of Hope That I Often Think About…i Understand Above All As A State Of Mind, Not A State Of The World. Either We Have Hope Within Us, Or We Don’t. It Is A Dimension Of The Soul It’s Not Essentially Dependent Upon Some Particular Observation Of The World Or Estimate Of The Situation. Hope Is Not The Conviction That Something Will Turn Out Well, But The Certainty That Something Makes Sense, Regardless Of How It Turns Out.

We Must Come To Understand The Deep Mutual Connection Or Kinship Between The Various Forms Of Our Spirituality. We Must Recollect Our Original Spiritual And Moral Substance, Which Grew Out Of The Same Essential Experience Of Humanity. I Believe That This Is The Only Way To Achieve A Genuine Renewal Of Our Sense Of Responsibility For Ourselves And For The World. And At The Same Time, It Is The Only Way To Achieve A Deeper Understanding Among Cultures That Will Enable Them To Work Together In A Truly Ecumenical Way To Create A New Order For The World.

When A Man Has His Heart In The Right Place And Good Taste, He Can Not Only Do Well In Politics But Is Even Predetermined For It. If Someone Is Modest And Does Not Yearn For Power, He Is Certainly Not Ill-equipped To Engage In Politics; On The Contrary, He Belongs There. What Is Needed In Politics Is Not The Ability To Lie But Rather The Sensibility To Know When, Where, How And To Whom To Say Things.

We Live In The Postmodern World, Where Everything Is Possible And Almost Nothing Is Certain.
