As a man of the world what must be demanded of him is honesty, integrity, character, and courage. A man who philosophizes or investigates or creates must be assessed as to these qualities ― how he has consistently demonstrated these qualities in his life ― for the truth and value of his work is decided upon them.
2. The most dishonest of biases is self-preservation. When he has allowed himself to become raw, totally unguarded and insecure ― without the deepest bias to keep himself alive ― at that moment a man sees clearly.
