Family life is too intimate to be preserved by the spirit of justice. It can be sustained by a spirit of love which goes beyond justice.

Whether the man is an atheist or a Christian, I would judge him by his fruits, and I have therefore many agnostic friends.

Love is the motive, but justice is the instrument.

My personal attitude toward atheists is the same attitude that I have toward Christians, and would be governed by a very orthodox text: "By their fruits shall ye know them."

There must be equality of all men before God and in a democratic society. Now that's one of the great achievements.

The old prose writers wrote as if they were speaking to an audience; while, among us, prose is invariably written for the eye alone.

Human Beings are just good enough to make democracy possible...just bad enough to make it neccessary.
