“...guilt leads to righteous action, but rarely is it the right action.”

“Guilt is not a response to anger; it is a response to one’s own actions or lack of action. If it leads to change then it can be useful, since it is then no longer guilt but the beginning of knowledge. Yet all too often, guilt is just another name for impotence, for defensiveness destructive of communication; it becomes a device to protect ignorance and the continuation of things the way they are, the ultimate protection for changelessness.”

“It is love alone that leads to right action. What brings order in the world is to love and let love do what it will.”

“Men rarely see their own actions as unjustified.”

“People must have righteous principals in the first, and then they will not fail to perform virtuous actions. ”

“Any genuine philosophy leads to action and from action back again to wonder, to the enduring fact of mystery. ”
