Neither the life of an individual nor the history of a society can be understood without understanding both.

But history is neither watchmaking nor cabinet construction. It is an endeavor toward better understanding.

In the last analysis, the essential thing is the life of individual. This alone makes history, here alone do the great transformations take place, and the whole future, the whole history of the world, ultimately springs as a gigantic summation from these hidden source in individuals.

Understanding is standing under something together.

So much of life is paradox. So much of life is neither one thing nor the other... it's both things at the same time.

Happiness is neither without us nor within us. It is in God, both without us and within us.
