I may be no better, 

but at least I am different.

Science is bound, 

by the everlasting vow of honour, 

to face fearlessly every problem 

which can be fairly presented to it.

Doubt is the father of invention.

From bitter searching of the heart,

Quickened with passion and with pain

We rise to play a greater part.

This is the faith from which we start:

Men shall know commonwealth again

From bitter searching of the heart.

We loved the easy and the smart,

But now, with keener hand and brain,

We rise to play a greater part.

The lesser loyalties depart,

And neither race nor creed remain

From bitter searching of the heart.

Not steering by the venal chart

That tricked the mass for private gain,

We rise to play a greater part.

Reshaping narrow law and art

Whose symbols are the millions slain,

From bitter searching of the heart

We rise to play a greater part.

We view things
not only from different sides, 

but with different eyes; 

we have no wish to find them alike.

Man acts as though he were the shaper and master of language, 

while in fact language remains the master of man.

Human it is to have compassion on the unhappy.

The past, the present and the future are really one: 

they are today.

Words easy to be understood do often hit the mark; 

when high and learned ones do only pierce the air.

Our brain is mapping the world. 

Often that map is distorted, 

but it's a map with constant immediate sensory input.

An idea is salvation by imagination.

For the myth is the foundation of life; 

it is the timeless schema, 

the pious formula into which life flows 

when it reproduces its traits out of the unconscious.

There never was any heart truly great and generous, 

that was not also tender and compassionate.

Fear is the mother of foresight.

In the confusion 

we stay with each other, 

happy to be together, 

speaking without uttering a single word.
