The city of truth cannot be built on the swampy ground of skepticism.

One truth stands firm. All that happens in world history rests on something spiritual. If the spiritual is strong, it creates world history. If it is weak, it suffers world history.

I have always held firmly to the thought that each one of us can do a little to bring some portion of misery to an end.

It seemed to me a matter of course that we should all take our share of the burden of pain which lies upon the world.

Example is leadership.

The thinking (person) must oppose all cruel customs, no matter how deeply rooted in tradition and surrounded by a halo. When we have a choice, we must avoid bringing torment and injury into the life of another.

It is the fate of every truth to be an object of ridicule when it is first acclaimed.
