The address was over in less than a minute. All he said was: “These things will destroy the human race: politics without principle, progress without compassion, wealth without work, learning without silence, religion without fearlessness and worship without awareness.“ | |

Knowledge without humility; | |
Commerce without morality; | |
Science without humanity; | |
Worship without sacrifice; and, | |
Politics without principle. | |
