I believe that a man can only be useful to his country when he can look at it clearly.
No man ever looks at the world with pristine eyes. He sees it edited by a definite set of customs and institutions and ways of thinking.

About all that is needed to put the world on its feet are the right qualities of mind and heart on the part of all men.

My country is the world; my countrymen are mankind.
