A person who has sympathy for mankind in the lump, faith in its future progress, and desire to serve the great cause of this progress, should be called not a humanist, but a humanitarian, and his creed may be designated as humanitarianism.

  • -- Irving Babbitt 白璧德

一个人如果对人类有整体的同情,对人类未来的进步有信心,愿意为人类进步的伟大事业服务,就不应该被称为人道主义者,而应该被称为人道主义者,他的信条可以被称为人道主义。
