"Wir dürfen nicht hoffen, eine bessere Welt zu erbauen, ehe nicht die Individuen besser werden. In diesem Sinn soll jeder von uns an seiner eigenen Vervollkommnung arbeiten, indem er auf sich nimmt, was ihm im Lebensganzen der Menschheit an Verantwortlichkeit zukommt, und sich seiner Pflicht bewusst bleibt, denen zu helfen, denen er am ehesten nützlich sein kann."
