341 3, 25 | true to their nature. The truth of these values is to be
342 3, 25 | oneself to apprehend that truth even at levels which transcend
343 3, 26 | 26. The truth comes initially to the human
344 3, 26 | first absolutely certain truth of our life, beyond the
345 3, 26 | and the duty to know the truth of our own destiny. We want
