Conduct is three-fourths of our life and its largest concern.

Literature and Dogma (1873)

Culture is "To know the best that has been said and thought in the world."

Literature and Dogma (1873)

And as long as the world lasts, all who want to make progress in righteousness will come to Israel for inspiration, as to the people who have had the sense for righteousness most glowing and strongest; and in hearing and reading the words Israel has uttered for us, carers for conduct will find a glow and a force they could find nowhere else.
