In matters of conscience, the law of the majority has no place.

I see neither bravery nor sacrifice in destroying life or property, for offense or defense.

Indeed one's faith in one's plans and methods is truly tested when the horizon before one is the blackest.

I believe in the fundamental truth of all great religions of the world. I believe that they are all God- given and I believe that they were necessary for the people to whom these religions were revealed. And I believe that if only we could all of us read the scriptures of the different faiths from the standpoints of the followers of these faiths, we should find that they were at bottom all one and were all helpful to one another.

God is the hardest taskmaster I have known on this earth, and he tries you through and through. And when you find that your faith is failing or your body is failing you, and you are sinking, he comes to your assistance somehow or other and proves to you that you must not lose your faith and that he is always at your beck and call, but on his terms, not on your terms. So I have found. I cannot really recall a single instance when, at the eleventh hour, he has forsaken me.

I came alone in this world, I have walked alone in the valley of the shadow of death, and I shall quit alone when the time comes.

God has been described by all the scriptures of the world as protector and saviour of the sinner.
