"I have four beliefs, which we should take to heart. The first is that humankind does not have to remain in a wretched condition. Secondly, that education, scientific and artistic endeavours are a central means to help the mass of humanity, and an end in which all of humanity can share. Thirdly, that great plans fail because little details go unattended and unnoticed, thereby damaging the entire project. Finally, that no vision is too out of reach that collective energy cannot bring it into reality. The only question is to be sure that the vision is indeed the right one." (After Samuel Rubin)
