A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within. All humanity is one undivided and indivisible family, and each one of us is responsible for the misdeeds of all the others. We treat this world of ours as through we had a spare in the trunk. Until the great mass of the people shall be filled with the sense of responsibility for each other's welfare, social justice can never be attained. An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.
Love has to be put into action and that action is service.
The health of a democratic society may be measured by the quality of functions performed by private citizens. The only people who never fail are those who never try. We are not interested in the possibilities of defeat. It is powered by the fuel of persistence, lubricated by the elbow grease of effort. Guided by the steering wheel of comon sense and smoothed by the shock absorbers of faith and forgiveness.
