I believe in what Max Muller said years ago, namely, that truth needed to be repeated as long as there were men who disbelieved it.

I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.

Religions are different roads converging on the same point. What does it matter that we take different roads so long as we reach the same goal? I believe that all religions of the world are true more or less. I say "more or less" because I believe that everything the human hand touches, by reason of the very fact that human beings are imperfect, becomes imperfect.

Before the throne of the Almighty, man will be judged not by his acts but by his intentions. For God alone reads our hearts.

The strength to kill is not essential for self-defense; one ought to have the strength to die. When a man is fully ready to die, he will not even desire to offer violence. Indeed, I may put it down as a self-evident proposition that the desire to kill is in inverse proportion to the desire to die. And history is replete with instances of men who by dying with courage and compassion on their lips converted the hearts of their violent opponents.

Without an unreserved surrender to His grace, complete mastery over thoughts is impossible.

Just as one must learn the art of killing in the training for violence, so one must learn the art of dying in the training for nonviolence.
