“What is … important is that we — number one: Learn to live with each other. Number two: try to bring out the best in each other.”

Jonas Salk (1914–1995) Inventor of polio vaccine

The Open Mind interview (1985)
Context: What is … important is that we — number one: Learn to live with each other. Number two: try to bring out the best in each other. The best from the best, and the best from those who, perhaps, might not have the same endowment. And so this bespeaks an entirely different philosophy — a different way of life — a different kind of relationship — where the object is not to put down the other, but to raise up the other.
