“Ideas devour the ages as men are devoured by their passions. When man is cured, human nature will cure itself perhaps.”

“Nothing is a greater impediment to being on good terms with others than being ill at ease with yourself.”

“Modesty is the conscience of the body.”

“[I] know that love is ultimately the only answer to mankind's problems.”

“We must discover the power of love, the power, the redemptive power of love. And when we discover that we will be able to make of this old world a new world. We will be able to make men better. Love is the only way.”

“Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”
