"To see, and to show, is the mission now undertaken by Life." — Henry R. Luce

I suggest that what we want to do is not to leave to posterity a great institution, but to leave behind a great tradition of journalism ably practiced in our time.

Time should make enemies and Life should make friends.

Publishing is a business, but journalism never was and is not essentially a business. Nor is it a profession.

Show me a man who claims he is objective and I'll show you a man with illusions.
