There Are Crimes Which The Law Cannot

For We Let Our Young Men And Women Go Out Unarmed In A Day When Armor Was Never So Necessary. By Teaching Them To Read, We Have Left Them At The Mercy Of The Printed Word. By The Invention Of The Film And The Radio, We Have Made Certain That No Aversion To Reading Shall Secure Them From The Incessant Battery Of Words, Words, Words. They Do Not Know What The Words Mean; They Do Not Know How To Ward Them Off Or Blunt Their Edge Or Fling Them Back; They Are Prey To Words In Their Emotions Instead Of Being The Masters Of Them In Their Intellects.

To Start With Invention Is The Mark Of The Fertile Mind ... And Leads Later To The Interpretation Of Experience; To Start With The Reproduction Of Experience Is The Infallible Index Of A Barren Invention.

What We Make Is More Important Than What We Are, Particularly If Making Is Our Profession.

There Is Only One Kind Of Wisdom That Has Any Social Value, And That Is The Knowledge Of One's Own Limitations.
