Faith... Must be enforced by reason...When faith becomes blind it dies. It is the duty of every cultured man or woman to read sympathetically the scriptures of the world. If we are to respect others' religions as we would have them respect our own, a friendly study of the world's religions is a sacred duty. Be the change you want to see in the world. An eye for an eye would make the whole world blind. All humanity is one undivided and indivisible family, and each one of us is responsible for the misdeeds of all the others. I cannot detach myself from the wickedest soul. A weak man is just an accident. A strong but non-violent man is unjust by accident. A 'NO' uttered from deepest conviction is better and greater than a 'YES' merely uttered to please, or what is worse, to avoid trouble. Men often become what they believe themselves to be. If I believe I cannot do something, it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I believe I can, then I acquire the ability to do it even if I didn't have it in the beginning. Honest differences are often a healthy sign of progress. Adaptability is not imitation. It means power of resistance and assimilation. |
