Whenever a church does anything for its own group, it has that right.

The society in which each man lives is at once the basis for, and the nemesis of, that fulness of life which each man seeks.

Change what cannot be accepted and accept what cannot be changed.

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. Grant me the patience with changes that take time, appreciation of all that I have, tolerance of those with different struggles, and the strength to get up and try again, one day at a time.

A church has the right to set its own standards within its community. I don't think it has a right to prohibit birth control or to enforce upon a secular society its conception of divorce and the indissolubility of the marriage tie.

Religion mustn't interfere with the state - so one of the basic Democratic principles as we know it in America is the separation of church and state.

Evil is not to be traced back to the individual but to the collective behavior of humanity.
