For humanism also appeals to man as man. It seeks to liberate the universal qualities of human nature from the narrow limitations of blood and soil and class and to create a common language and a common culture in which men can realize their common humanity.

The four characteristics of humanism are curiosity, a free mind, belief in good taste, and belief in the human race.

Humanism and Divinity are as complementary to one another in theorder of culture, as are Nature and Grace in the order of being.

Humanism was not wrong in thinking that truth, beauty, liberty, and equality are of infinite value, but in thinking that man can get them for himself without grace.
