As Democracy Modifies Our Conception

The Identification With The Common Lot Which Is The Essential Idea Of Democracy Becomes The Source And Expression Of Social Ethics. It Is As Though We Thirsted To Drink At The Great Wells Of Human Experience, Because We Knew That A Daintier Or Less Potent Draught Would Not Carry Us To The End Of The Journey, Going Forward As We Must In The Heat And Jostle Of The Crowd.

You Do Not Know What Life Means When All The Difficulties Are Removed!

Civilization Is A Method Of Living, An Attitude Of Equal Respect For All Men.

I Have Come To Believe ... That The Stage May Do More Than Teach, That Much Of Our Current Moral Instruction Will Not Endure The Test Of Being Cast Into A Lifelike Mold, And When Presented In Dramatic Form Will Reveal Itself As Platitudinous And Effete. That Which May Have Sounded Like Righteous Teaching When It Was Remote And Wordy, Will Be Challenged Afresh When It Is Obliged To Simulate Life Itself.

It Is Easy To Become The Dupe Of A Deferred Purpose, Of The Promise The Future Can Never Keep.
