to dispute. Indeed, my experiments have proven to me that he is the
Unreasoning Animal... In truth, man is incurably foolish. Simple things
which other animals easily learn, he is incapable of learning. Among my
experiments was this. In an hour I taught a cat and a dog to be friends. I
put them in a cage. In another hour I taught them to be friends with a
rabbit. In the course of two days I was able to add a fox, a goose, a
squirrel and some doves. Finally a monkey. They lived together in peace;
even affectionately." | |

achievement of values is a lifelong process ? and the higher the values,
the harder the struggle ? he needs a moment, an hour or some period of
time in which he can experience the sense of his completed task, the sense
of living in a universe where his values have been successfully achieved.
It is like a moment of rest, a moment to gain fuel to move farther." | |

changes have been vast, yet we may remain absolutely sure of one thing;
that now as ever in the past, and as it will ever be in-the future, there
can be no substitute for elemental virtues, for the elemental qualities to
which we allude when we speak of a man, not only as a good man, but as
emphatically a man. We can build up the standard of individual citizenship
and individual well-being, we can raise the national standard and make it
what it can and shall be made, only by each of us steadfastly keeping in
mind that there can be no substitute for the world-old commonplace
qualities of truth, justice, and courage, thrift, industry, common sense
and genuine sympathy with the fellow feelings of others." | |
