So divinely is the world organized that every one of us, in our place and time, is in balance with everything else.
We can be sure that the greatest hope for maintaining equilibrium in the face of any situation rests within ourselves.
Order is not pressure which is imposed on society from without, but an equilibrium which is set up from within.
It may make your blood boil and your mind may not be changed, but the practice of listening to opposing views is essential for effective citizenship. It is essential for our democracy.
The best and safest thing is to keep a balance in your life, acknowledge the great powers around us and in us. If you can do that, and live that way, you are really a wise man.
