There are two ways to slide easily through life: to believe everything or to doubt everything; both ways save us from thinking.

Manhood of Humanity (1921)

To regard human beings as tools — as instruments — for the use of other human beings is not only unscientific but it is repugnant, stupid and short sighted. Tools are made by man but have not the autonomy of their maker — they have not man's time-binding capacity for initiation, for self-direction, and self-improvement.
