I considered becoming a Christian... until I met one.

It is the law of love that rules mankind. Had violence, i.e. hate, rules us we would have become extinct long ago. And yet, the tragedy of it is that the so-called civilised men and nations conduct themselves as if the basis of society was violence.

Truth never damages a cause that is just.

For thousands to do to death a few hundreds is no bravery. It is worse than cowardice. It is unworthy of nationalism, of any religion.

I abhor vivisection with my whole soul. All the scientific discoveries stained with innocent blood I count as of no consequence.

No man could be actively nonviolent and not rise against social injustice, no matter where it occurred.

It is the duty of every cultured man or woman to read sympathetically the scriptures of the world. If we are to respect others' religions as we would have them respect our own, a friendly study of the world's religions is a sacred duty.
