Quotations

"[T]o strive for a world outlook, putting oneself in others' places, no matter how far away or how remote. . . so that one definitely progresses along the long slow road toward achieving a civilization worthy of the name." ("Fundamental beliefs," to Putney alumnae, May 1954; photo: http://bit.ly/H2ynys)
