Стр. 146 - It is a peculiar sensation, this double-consciousness, this sense of always looking at one's self through the eyes of others, of measuring one's soul by the tape of a world that looks on in amused contempt and pity.

Стр. 143 - Save us, World-Spirit, from our lesser selves! Grant us that war and hatred cease, Reveal our souls in every race and hue! Help us, O Human God, in this Thy Truce, To make Humanity divine!
Стр. 141 - But has it ever occurred to you to turn it about the other way? God has given these people to us to teach us service, to teach us humility, to teach us brotherly love, to bring us back to the foundation principles of the Gospel. And the solution of the negro problem is more important, not for its effect on them, but for its effect on us.
