You do not build your own houses, nor make your own garments, nor bake your own bread, simply because you know that if you were to attempt all these things they would all be more or less ill done.
From Felix Adler
The hero is one who kindles a great light in the world, who sets up blazing torches in the dark streets of life for men to see by.
Where the roots of private virtue are diseased, the fruit of public probity cannot but be corrupt.
Simplicity should not be identified with bareness.
Love is the expansion of two natures in such fashion that each include the other, each is enriched by the other.
An anxious unrest, a fierce craving desire for gain has taken possession of the commercial world, and in instances no longer rare the most precious and permanent goods of human life have been madly sacrificed in the interests of momentary enrichment.
We measure our enjoyments by the sum expended.
The platform of an Ethical Society is itself the altar; the address must be the fire that burns thereon.
The past speaks to us in a thousand voices, warning and comforting, animating and stirring to action.
The office of the public teacher is an unenviable and thankless one.
