The great principle of love depends upon this. He who loves another tries truly to understand the other.We can reverse this：he who tries truly to understand another is not likely to hate that other.
Socrates gave no finished catalogue of the"truths"of the world. He gave, rather, the impulse to search.This is far better, I feel, than dogmatic certainty.When we are aware that there are glories of life still hidden from us, we walk humbly before the Great Unknown.But we do more than this：we try manfully to increase our powers of seeing and feeling so that we can turn what is still unknown into what is warmly and understandingly known……This, I believe, is our great human adventure.
