Few New Truths Have Ever

One Must Look At What Impiety Hates, What Puts It In A Rage, What It Attacks Always, Everywhere, And With Fury - That Will Be The Truth.

True Knowledge Is Knowledge Of Why Things Are As They Are, And Not Merely What They Are.

Liberty And Equality, Spontaneity And Security, Happiness And Knowledge, Mercy And Justice - All These Are Ultimate Human Values, Sought For Themselves Alone; Yet When They Are Incompatible, They Cannot All Be Attained, Choices Must Be Made, Sometimes Tragic Losses Accepted In The Pursuit Of Some Preferred Ultimate End.

But To Manipulate Men, To Propel Them Toward Goals Which You-the Social Reformers-see, But They May Not, Is To Deny Their Human Essence, To Treat Them As Objects Without Wills Of Their Own, And Therefore To Degrade Them.

The Fundamental Sense Of Freedom Is Freedom From Chains, From Imprisonment, From Enslavement By Others. The Rest Is Extension Of This Sense, Or Else Metaphor.
