Life Quote by László Polgár
““For me it is an internal law to do good. In my whole life I have endeavored to realize high moral values; I have always believed in moral ideas, and as a pedagogue and a father I have always disseminated them. I could not live otherwise than what I profess. Striving for harmony between words and actions, needing to put ideas into practice, is an integral part of my moral concept and practice. Because of this every kind of small-souled reaction, vengeance, or trickery is far from me - for me openness is an internal command. Although I know that this book will “incite” many to attack, I know that people will criticize and offend me, and I have exposed myself to hostile action, but nevertheless I am taking this step - not following the counsel of the wise king Solomon: “Do not be too virtuous, and do not reason too much: why must you confuse yourself?””
