For the answers to the questions which have never before been posed? We must look, first, to Almighty Who has raised man above the animals and endowed him with intelligence and reason And we must look into ourselves, into the depth of our souls We must become something we have never been And for which our education and experience and environment have ill-prepared us We must become bigger than we have been More courageous, greater in spirit, larger in outlook We must become members of a new race, overcoming petty prejudice Owing our ultimate allegiance not to nations but to our fellow men within the human community
