Philosophy Quote by Alice Duer Miller — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Anyone who says that economic security is a human right, has been to much babied. While he babbles, other men are risking and losing their lives to protect him. They are fighting the sea, fighting the land, fighting disease and insects and weather and space and time, for him, while he chatters that all men have a right to security and that some pagan god—Society, The State, The Government, The Commune—must give it to them. Let the fighting men stop fighting this inhuman earth for one hour, and he will learn how much security there is.”

“You will never know how high you can climb until you reach the top.”

“It's a sad day for American Capitalism when a man can't fly a midget on a kite over central park.”

“Ben, if you get pee in my brand-new car, I am going to cut your balls off.”

“Love as a concrete foundation for an authentically functional civilization requires the around-the-clock labors of forgiveness. Without it, Love fails, Friendship fails, Intelligence fails, Humanity: fails.”
