The Primary Components, by Franklin Merrell Wolff

The Primary Components:

1. Cultivate interest in that which is most universal and least affected by the wearing of time.
2. Cultivate a feeling and practice of brotherhood in the most universal sense possible.
3. Subordinate personal self-interest to impersonal and general interests.
4. Cultivate detachment.
5. Lay the primary emphasis upon integrating principles rather than upon the differentia of things
