Arguing from facts never wins a definitive victory against skillfully presented opinion. - Albert Schweitzer

To the man who is truly ethical all life is sacred, including that which from the human point of view seems lower in the scale. He makes distinctions only as each case comes before him, and under the pressure of necessity, as, for example, when it falls to him to decide which of two lives he must sacrifice in order to preserve the other. But all through this series of decisions he is conscious of acting on subjective grounds and arbitrarily, and knows that he bears the responsibility for the life which is sacrificed.

Keiner darf die Augen schliessen und das Leiden, dessen Anblick er sich erspart, als nicht geschehen ansehen.

In the hopes of reaching the moon men fail to see the flowers that blossom at their feet.
