I believe in the fundamental truth of all great religions of the world.

... when all violence subsides in the human heart, the state which remains is love. It is not something we have to acquire; it is always present, and needs only to be uncovered. This is our real nature, not merely to love one person here, another there, but to be love itself.

The end of nonviolent 'war' is always an agreement, never dictation, much less humiliation of the opponent.

To believe in something, and not to live it, is dishonest.

Life is but an endless series of experiments.

I understand democracy as something that gives the weak the same chance as the strong.

I am not fighting machinery as such, but the madness of thinking that machinery saves labor. Men save labor until thousands of them are without work and die of hunger on the streets. I want to secure employment and livelihood not only to part of the human race, but for all. I will not have the enrichment of a few at the expense of the community. At present the machine is helping a small minority to live on the exploitation of the masses. The motive force of this minority is not humanity or love of their kind, but greed and avarice.
