“The human spirit will not invest itself in a compromise.”

“Cat hate reflects an ugly, stupid, loutish, bigoted spirit. There can be no compromise with this Ugly Spirit.”

“Invest in human capital and enhance human development.”

“Poetry, plays, novels, music, they are the cry of the human spirit trying to understand itself and make sense of our world.”

“Hegel claimed that the 'world spirit' is developing toward an ever-expanding knowledge of itself. It's the same with rivers--they become broader and broader as they get nearer to the sea. According to Hegel, history is the story of the 'world spirit' gradually coming to consciousness of itself. Although the world has always existed, human culture and human development have made the world spirit increasingly conscious of its intrinsic value.”

“Invest in the human family. Invest in people. Build a little community of those you love and who love you.”
