Summary

This quote suggests that while censorship may be necessary within the confines of one's own home, it should not extend beyond that. It acknowledges that individuals have the right to regulate what enters their personal spaces, protecting themselves and their loved ones. However, the quote also emphasizes the importance of not imposing censorship on society as a whole. In contrast to charity, which can benefit wider communities, censorship should not go beyond personal boundaries as it can infringe upon freedom of expression and limit the diversity of ideas and perspectives necessary for a healthy society.

If we should classify one by one all those who hate others and injure others, should we find them to be universal in love or partial? Of course we should say they are partial. Now, since partiality against one another is the cause of the major calamities in the empire, then partiality is wrong.

The tragedy of all this is that George McGovern, for all his mistakes and his imprecise talk about new politics and honesty in government, is one of the few men who've run for President of the United States in this century who really understands what a fantastic monument to all the best instincts of the human race this country might have been, if we could have kept it out of the hands of greedy little hustlers like Richard Nixon.McGovern made some stupid mistakes, but in context they seem almost frivolous compared to the things Richard Nixon does every day of his life, on purpose, as a matter of policy and a perfect expression of everything he stands for.Jesus! Where will it end? How low do you have to stoop in this country to be President?

No two men see the world exactly alike, and different temperaments will apply in different ways a principle that they both acknowledge. The same man will, indeed, often see and judge the same things differently on different occasions: early convictions must give way to more mature ones. Nevertheless, may not the opinions that a man holds and expresses withstand all trials, if he only remains true to himself and others?
