“Programs of a political nature are important end products of social quality that can be effective only if the underlying structure of social values is right. The social values are right only if the individual values are right. The place to improve the world is first in one's heart and head and hands, and then work outward from there. ”
“If political rights are necessary to set social rights in place, social rights are indispensable to make political rights 'real' and keep them in operation. The two rights need each other for their survival; that survival can only be their joint achievement.”
“Intrinsic values and qualities are age-free. For example, social competencies or a good heart.”
“The place to improve the world is first in one's own heart and head and hands, and then work outward from there.”
“The use of market values and technology as a social barometer has devalued the worth of individuals, rendered irrelevant the quality of their lives, and stunted their creativity.”
“There is only one kind of wisdom that has any social value, and that is the knowledge of one's own limitations.”
