The Fact That Human Conscience Remains Partially

Doubt Is The Brother Of Shame.

Healthy Children Will Not Fear Life If Their Elders Have Integrity Enough Not To Fear Death.

Will, Therefore, Is The Unbroken Determination To Exercise Free Choice As Well As Self-restraint, In Spite Of The Unavoidable Experience Of Shame And Doubt In Infancy.

When We Looked At The Life Cycle In Our 40s, We Looked To Old People For Wisdom. At 80, Though, We Look At Other 80-year-olds To See Who Got Wise And Who Not. Lots Of Old People Don't Get Wise, But You Don't Get Wise Unless You Age.

If There Is Any Responsibility In The Cycle Of Life It Must Be That One Generation Owes To The Next That Strength By Which It Can Come To Face Ultimate Concerns In Its Own Way.
