"The spirit is not dead;
it lives in isolation. It
has overcome the difficulty
of having to exist in a world
out of harmony with its
ethical character. It has come
to realize that it can find
no home other than in the
basic nature of man. . .
It is convinced that compassion,
in which ethics takes root,
does not assume its true proportions
until it embraces not only man but
every living being. To the old
ethics, which lacked this depth
and force of conviction, has been
added the ethics of
reverence for life,
and its validity is steadily gaining
in recognition."
