Martyrs and persecutors are the same type of man. As to which is the persecutor and which the martyr, this is only a question of transient power.

Men whose lives are doubtful want a strong government and a hot religion

Love grows by giving. The love we give away is the only love we keep. The only way to retain love is to give it away.

Fear clogs; Faith liberates.

Do you say that religion is still needed? Then I answer that Work, Study, Health and Love constitute religion. . . . Most formal religions have pronounced the love of man for woman and woman for man an evil thing. . . . They have said that sickness was sent from God. . . . Now we deny it all, and again proclaim that these will bring you all the good there is: Health, Work, Study - Love!

Men are rich only as they give. He who gives great service gets great rewards.
