| "The search for truth is, as it always has been, the noblest
expression of the human spirit. Man"s insatiable desire for knowledge
about himself, about his environment and the forces by which he is
surrounded, gives life its meaning and purpose, and clothes it with final
dignity.... And yet we know, deep in our hearts, that knowledge is not
enough.... Unless we can anchor our knowledge to moral purposes, the
ultimate result will be dust and ashes? dust and ashes that will bury the
hopes and monuments of men beyond recovery." | |

| "The only life worth living is the adventurous life. Of such a life
the dominant characteristic is that it is unafraid. If is unafraid of what
other people think ... It does not adapt either its pace or its objectives
to the pace and objectives of its neighbors. It thinks its own thoughts,
it reads its own books, it developed its own hobbies, and it is governed
by its own conscience. The herd may graze where it pleases or stampede
where it pleases, but he who lives the adventurous life will remain
unafraid when he finds himself alone." | |

standards persist. As in a scientific laboratory, all else may change but
the standards are unalterable? disinterested love of truth, fidelity to
facts, accuracy in measurement, exactness of verification?so, in life as a
whole, the towering ethical criteria remain unshaken. Falsehood is never
better than truth, theft better than than honesty, treachery better than
loyalty, cowardice better than courage." | |
