Things That Make Us Alike

A Long-established Occupation May Form The Very Foundations Of The Moral Life, That The Art With Which A Man Has Solaced His Toil May Be The Salvation Of His Uncertain Temperament.

We Continually Forget That The Sphere Of Morals Is The Sphere Of Action, That Speculation In Regard To Morality Is But Observation And Must Remain In The Sphere Of Intellectual Comment, That A Situation Does Not Really Become Moral Until We Are Confronted With The Question Of What Shall Be Done In A Concrete Case, And Are Obliged To Act Upon Our Theory.

Pliable Human Nature Is Relentlessly Pressed Upon By Its Physical Environment.

The Good We Secure For Ourselves Is Precarious And Uncertain Until It Is Secured For All Of Us And Incorporated Into Our Common Life.

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.
