The recognition of the sanctity of the life of every man is the first and only basis of all morality.

To regard Christ as God, and to pray to him, are to my mind the greatest possible sacrilege.

Don't seek God in temples. He is close to you. He is within you. Only you should surrender to Him and you will rise above happiness and unhappiness.

One must put oneself in every one's position. To understand everything is to forgive everything.

All the variety, all the charm, all the beauty of life is made up of light and shadow.

It is very difficult to tell the truth.

Not one word, not one gesture of yours shall I, could I, ever forget.
