Summary

This quote emphasizes that knowledge alone is not sufficient to promote a commitment to human rights. Merely educating people about human rights principles is not enough; it is equally important to engage individuals in practical experiences and encourage action.

The combination of knowledge, action, and experience is crucial for the effective learning and advocacy of human rights.

It is of the nobility of man's soul that he is insatiable: for he hath a benefactor so prone to give, that he delighteth in us for asking. Do not your inclinations tell you that the WORLD is yours?
