| “ | Liberty without learning is always in peril; learning without liberty is always in vain. | ” |
| “ | Our problems are man-made, therefore they may be solved by man. No problem of human destiny is beyond human beings. | ” |

| “ | The American, by nature, is optimistic. He is experimental, an inventor and a builder who builds best when called upon to build greatly.

| “ | The ancient Greek definition of happiness was the full use of your powers along lines of excellence.

| “ | The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie -- deliberate, contrived and dishonest, but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic. Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought. | ” |
