Abraham Joshua Heschel talks about culture

A test of a people is how it behaves toward the old. It is easy to love children. Even tyrants and dictators make a point of being fond of children. But the affection and care for the old, the incurable, the helpless are the true goldmines of a culture.

Abraham Joshua Heschel (1955)
"Insecurity of Freedom", p. 72
