“Each one must do his part if we wish to show that the nation is worthy of its good fortune.”

“Mankind is a single body and each nation a part of that body. We must never say "What does it matter to me if some part of the world is ailing?" If there is such an illness, we must concern ourselves with it as though we were having that illness.”

“We must do our work for its own sake, not for fortune or attention or applause.”

“Like the grasses showing tender faces to each other, thus we should do, for this was the wish of the Grandfathers of the World.”

“...you suffer the rich to do as they wish and hold the less fortunate to a higher standard. Tis unfair and tis the dirty part of the world that we all live in, but there it is just the same.”

“The part of the philanthropist is indeed a dangerous one; and the man who would do his neighbour good must first study how not to do him evil, and must begin by pulling the beam out of his own eye.”
