Nothing that is worth doing can be achieved in a lifetime; therefore we must be saved by hope.

I don't know whether any religious leader would say that we must ultimately win, because we're on God's side. If they do say that, it's bad religion.

It's always wise to seek the truth in our opponents' error, and the error in our own truth.

Nothing we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished alone; therefore we are saved by love.

The final wisdom of life requires not the annulment of incongruity but the achievement of serenity within and above it.

The separation of church and state is necessary partly because if religion is good then the state shouldn't interfere with the religious vision or with the religious prophet.

There is no cure for the pride of a virtuous nation but pure religion.
