"Without world unification the species would destroy itself by the enlarged powers that had come to it. This, said the men of science, is no theory, no political alternative; it is a statement of fact. Men had to pool their political, economic and educational lives. There was no other way for them but a series of degenerative phases leading very plainly to extinction. They could not revert now. They had to go on - up or down. They had gone too far with civilisation and in societies, to sink back into a merely "animal life again. The hold of the primates on life had always been a precarious one. Except where they were under human protection all the other great apes were extinct. Now plainly man had to go on to a larger life, a planetary existence, or perish in his turn."

It runs through all our folklore, all human religions, all our literature--a racial conviction that when one human needs rescue, others should not count the price."
"We donot qualify as humans going by our acts, but we surely prove through our vulnerability and sufferings!"
"Kindness: It's ours to share."
"Help anyone who comes to you, as much as lies in your power, not because you are good person, nor because you want to be adored, but because you are a real human " a real human of the civilized society."

"It isn't a natural thing to keep on worrying about the morality of one's material prosperity. These are proclivities superinduced by modern conditions of the conscience. There is a natural resistance in every healthy human being to such distressful heart-searchings."
