Love of humanity

"A measure of human development: In a lower class man how small is the love of self and of offspring, and at most the love of those who favour his life. In middle-ranking man, love extends to parents and wife. He respects spiritual men and country. He sacrifices when necessary, though never anonymously. His love extends to all those whom he sees and honours with his bodily eyes. The love of the superior man extends to all the human race. He feels, he knows that life is eternal. His work and his life on earth are therefore that of the human race. All his high ideals shine on the zenith of the common good. And because he does not live for himself, he is ready to die for his fellow man."
