“There is one job that we can do superlatively well, and there isn’t anything that can keep us from doing it if we are serious in wanting to. That is the job we do on ourselves, inside ourselves. It means clearing out a whole mess of false values, unrealistic ambitions, and worn-out resentments, and putting in their place the qualities we want to have – kindness, tolerance, friendliness … We can begin to see what the real values of life are, and they are very different from the hazy, distorted dreams we had.”
New York, N.Y., August 1948, “Those Depressions–Make Them Work for Good!”, Best of Grapevine, Volume 1
