Even the smallest daily chore can be humanized with the harmony of culture.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It is not just the Great Works of mankind that make a culture. It is the daily things, like what people eat and how they serve it.
If we are to achieve a richer culture, rich in contrasting values, we must recognize the whole gamut of human potentialities, and so weave a less arbitrary social fabric, one in which each diverse human gift will find a fitting place.
There is a social need within our lives as human beings to have harmony.
To deal with individual human needs at the everyday level can be noble sometimes.
As is the case with all good things in life - love, good manners, language, cooking - personal creativity is required only rarely.
We should work for simple, good, undecorated things, but things which are in harmony with the human being and organically suited to the little man in the street.
We must make working life more human.
Every man's ability may be strengthened or increased by culture.
Our culture is at its best when we protect and encourage the weakest. Every life - at every stage, in every place - has a dignity beyond our imagining.
Just as we acquaint ourselves with materials, and just as we must understand functions, we must become familiar with the psychological and spiritual factors of the day. No cultural activity is possible otherwise, for we are dependent on the spirit of our time.
