Humanity needs practical men, who get the most out of their work, and, without forgetting the general good, safeguard their own interests.

“It is one thing to be understanding of human weakness and the complexities of life, and another to accept ideologies that attempt to sunder what are inseparable aspects of reality. Let us not fall into the sin of trying to replace the Creator. We are creatures, and not omnipotent. Creation is prior to us and must be received as a gift. At the same time, we are called to protect our humanity, and this means, in the first place, accepting it and respecting it as it was created.”

“The white man's happiness cannot be purchased by the black man's misery.” 

“There is no more miserable human being than one in whom nothing is habitual but indecision.” 

“Human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives.”
