“The value of a man should be seen in what he gives and not in what he is able to receive.”
“What a child doesn't receive he can seldom later give.”
“A man should look for what is, and not for what he thinks should be.”
“There are times when a man should be content with what he has but never with what he is”
“To judge a man means nothing other than to ask: What content does he give to the form of humanity? What concept should we have of humanity if he were its only representative?”
“Treat a man as he is, and he will remain as he is. Treat a man as he could be, and he will become what he should be.”
