“The "non-profit" institution neither supplies goods or services not controls. Its "product" is neither a pair of shoes nor an effective regulation. Its product is a changed human being.

“Reverence for human personality is the beginning of wisdom, in every social question, but above all in education.”

“Any allegiance to a deity or concept or universal principal which put obedience above decent behavior toward an innocent human being evil. ”

“The wise man will be as happy as circumstances permit, and if he finds the contemplation of the universe painful beyond a point, he will contemplate something else instead.”
