I claim to be a simple individual liable to err like any other fellow mortal. I own, however, that I have humility enough to confess my errors and to retrace my steps.

Moral authority is never retained by any attempt to hold on to it. It comes without seeking and is retained without effort.

The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated. I hold that the more helpless a creature the more entitled it is to protection by man from the cruelty of humankind.

God alone is immortal, imperishable.

A selfish basis would not serve the purpose of taking a man higher and higher along the paths of evolution.

I own no property and yet I feel that I am perhaps the richest man in the world.

God will not be God, if He allowed Himself to be the object of proof by His creatures.
