"Every achievement of man is a value in itself. but it is also a stepping-stone to greater achievements and values. Life is growth; not to move forward, is to fall backward; life remains life, only so long as it advances. Every step upwards opens to man a wider range of action and achievement - and creates the need for that action and achievement. There is no final, permanent "plateau."
