Printer-friendly versionThe following quotes are copied from Juliette Morgan Hampton's scrapbook.
"Faith is life lived in the scorn of consequences." -- Juliette Morgan Hampton
"The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who during a moral crisis preserve their neutrality." -- Dante
Debts We Owe -- We must remember, as Franklin Roosevelt reminded us, "We are all immigrants." We have reason to be proud of our ancestry, but when we become boastful -- when we become race-proud -- we might remember the joke of the canny Scot who listened to a proper Bostonian brag about his ancestors until he finally remarked dryly, "And I suppose [you] sat up all night deciding [you would not] be born [Chinese]."
A really brave man is the first to recognize courage in others. One of the surest signs of greatness (in nations and in individuals) is the ability to recognize that quality in others. -- Juliette Morgan Hampton
"Those who refuse to go beyond fact rarely get as far as fact." -- T.H. Huxley
"Each interprets and understands everything in the world according to their natures and individual experiences." -- Emily Hahn The Soong Sisters
Limitations of Science
The one outstanding thing which science cannot do is to control human beings. It has discovered no secret whereby greed, cruelty and lust can be exorcised. It has not abolished fear. When it has done it's utmost to make life comfortable, easy and well ordered, the deeper hungers of human beings remain unsatisfied -- the hunger for love and the hunger for spiritual life.
-- A. Herbert Gray, D.D. The Secret of Inward Peace
