To Care For Anyone Else

We Cannot Adopt The Way Of Living That Was Satisfactory A Hundred Years Ago. The World In Which We Live Has Changed, And We Must Change With It.

Where The Roots Of Private Virtue Are Diseased, The Fruit Of Public Probity Cannot But Be Corrupt.

May The Humanity That Is Within Every Human Being Be Held Precious. The Vice That Underlies All Vices Is That We Are Held Cheap By Others, And Far Worse, That In Our Innermost Soul We Think Cheaply Of Ourselves.

As The Light Of Morning Strikes Now One Peak And Then Another, Some Being Illuminated While Others Are In The Shadow, So The Light Of The Essential Moral Principle Shines Now Upon One Duty And Then Upon Another, While Others Are In The Shadow.

To Care For Anyone Else Enough To Make Their Problems One's Own, Is Ever The Beginning Of One's Real Ethical Development.
