Men Of Integrity, By Their Very Existence,

The Society Which Scorns Excellence In Plumbing As A Humble Activity And Tolerates Shoddiness In Philosophy Because It Is An Exalted Activity Will Have Neither Good Plumbing Nor Good Philosophy: Neither Its Pipes Nor Its Theories Will Hold Water.

Creativity Requires The Freedom To Consider 'unthinkable' Alternatives, To Doubt The Worth Of Cherished Practices. Every Organization, Every Society Is Under The Spell Of Assumptions So Familiar That They Are Never Questioned, Least Of All By Those Most Intimately Involved.

But If We Believe What We Profess Concerning The Worth Of The Individual, Then The Idea Of Individual Development Within A Framework Of Ethical Purpose Must Become Our Deepest Concern, Our National Preoccupation, Our Passion, Our Obsession. We Must Think Of Education As Relevant For Everyone Everywhere - At All Ages And In All Conditions Of Life.

Creativity Requires The Freedom To Consider Unthinkable Alternatives, To Doubt The Worth Of Cherished Practices.

The Creative Individual Has The Capacity To Free Himself From The Web Of Social Pressures In Which The Rest Of Us Are Caught. He Is Capable Of Questioning The Assumptions That The Rest Of Us Accept.
