No man really knows about other human beings. The best he can do is to suppose that they are like himself.

One way or another we all have to find what best fosters the flowering of our humanity in this contemporary life and dedicate ourselves to that.

Good humor is a tonic for mind and body. It is the best antidote for anxiety and depression. It is a business asset. It attracts and keeps friends. It lightens human burdens. It is the direct route to serenity and contentment.

A blessed thing it is for any man or woman to have a friend one human soul whom we can trust utterly who knows the best and worst of us and who loves us in spite of all our faults.

Battle is the most magnificent competition in which a human being can indulge. It brings out all that is best it removes all that is base. All men are afraid in battle. The coward is the one who lets his fear overcome his sense of duty. Duty is the essence of manhood.

The best way to resolve any problem in the human world is for all sides to sit down and talk.

To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best night and day to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight and never stop fighting.

I think Whitman more than any other poet possessed the gift of revealing to others the beauty of everything around us the beauty of nature the beauty of human beings.

Life deprived of beauty is not worthy of being called human.

People are craving this great progress in electronics going after computers the Internet etc. It's a giant progress technologically. But they must have a balance of soul a balance for human beauty. That means art has an important role.
