Human nature is pretty shabby stuff, as you may know from introspection.

The most difficult matter is not so much to change the world as yourself.
Rhetoric is not important. Actions are.

Like slavery and apartheid, poverty is not natural. It is man-made and it can be overcome and eradicated by the actions of human beings. Overcoming poverty is not a gesture of charity. It is an act of justice. . . Sometimes it falls upon a generation to be great. You can be that great generation. Let your greatness blossom.
What has become alien to men is the human component of culture, its closest part, which upholds them against the world. They make common cause with the world against themselves, and the most alienated condition of all, the omnipresence of commodities, their own conversion into appendages of machinery, is for them a mirage of closeness.
