No one has a monopoly of the true God, nor is there a nation or religion that can claim, or at any rate prove, that it has been given the exclusive right to the Creator or sole knowledge of His Being.

He who does not know how to look back at where he came from will never get to his destination.

I believe in revelation, but not in revelation which each religion claims to possess, but in the living revelation which surrounds us on every side - mighty, eternal, unceasing, incorruptible, clear, distinct, universal as is the being from whom it proceeds, in that revelation which speaks to us and penetrates us from the moment we are born until we die.

The appetite is sharpened by the first bites.

For myself I think that one wrong does not right the other, and forgiveness cannot be won with useless tears or alms to the Church.

No good water comes from a muddy spring. No sweet fruit comes from a bitter seed.
