The Solemn Pledge To Abstain From Telling

Justness Exists, Even If Few People Exist Who Feel It.

I Had Grown Up Among Engineers, And I Could Remember The Engineers Of The Twenties Very Well Indeed: Their Open, Shining Intellects, Their Free And Gentle Humor, Their Agility And Breadth Of Thought, The Ease With Which They Shifted From One Engineering Field To Another, And, For That Matter, From Technology To Social Concerns And Art. Then, Too, They Personified Good Manners And Delicacy Of Taste; Well-bred Speech That Flowed Evenly And Was Free Of Uncultured Words; One Of Them Might Play A Musical Instrument, Another Dabble In Painting; And Their Faces Always Bore A Spiritual Imprint.

It's True That Private Enterprise Is Extremely Flexible, But Its Only Good Within Very Narrow Limits. If Private Enterprise Isn't Held In An Iron Grip It Gives Birth To People Who Are No Better Than Beasts, Those Stock-exchange People With Greedy Appetites Beyond Restraint.

I Will Tell You Something Else: It Is A Major Responsibility Not Only Of Portraiture But Of All Human Communication For Each Of Us To Help Everyone Else Discover The Best That Is In Him.

If You Wanted To Put The World To Rights, Who Should You Begin With: Yourself Or Others?
