If The World Is To Change For

Man Is A Part Of The World, And His Spirit Is Part Of The Spirit Of The World. We Are Merely A Peculiar Mode Of Being, A Living Atom Within It, Or, Rather, A Cell That, If Sufficiently Open To Itself And Its Own Mystery, Can Also Experience The Mystery, The Will, The Pain, And The Hope Of The World.

As In Everything Else, I Must Start With Myself. That Is: In All Circumstances Try To Be Decent, Just, Tolerant, And Understanding, And At The Same Time Try To Resist Corruption And Deception. In Other Words, I Must Do My Utmost To Act In Harmony With My Conscience And My Better Self.

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.

Nothing Is More Powerful Than Individuals Acting Out Of Their Own Conscience.

Hope Is A Feeling That Life And Work Have Meaning. You Either Have It Or You Don't, Regardless Of The State Of The World That Surrounds You.
