The only achievement I am really proud of is the friends I have made in this community.
Only the individual can think, and thereby create new values for society – nay, even set up new moral standards to which the life of the community conforms. Without creative, independently thinking and judging personalities the upward development of society is as unthinkable as the development of the individual personality without the nourishing soil of the community.
Love, friendship, respect do not unite people as much as common hatred for something.[Не так связывают любовь, дружба, уважение, как общая ненависть к чему-нибудь.]
A man’s value to the community depends primarily on how far his feelings, thoughts, and actions are directed towards promoting the good of his fellows.
A fundamental concern for others in our individual and community lives would go a long way in making the world the better place we so passionately dreamt of.
