“Hanifs (Muslims) are stumbling, Christians all astrayJews wildered, Magians far on error's way.We mortals are composed of two great schoolsEnlightened knaves or else religious fools.”

“There are more fools than knaves in the world, else the knaves would not have enough to live upon.”

“A man who first tried to guess 'what the public wants,' and then preached that as Christianity because the public wants it, would be a pretty mixture of fool and knave”

“I came to the conclusion long ago that all religions were true and that also that all had some error in them, and while I hold by my own religion, I should hold other religions as dear as Hinduism. So we can only pray, if we were Hindus, not that a Christian should become a Hindu; but our innermost prayer should be that a Hindu should become a better Hindu, a Muslim a better Muslim, and a Christian a better Christian.”

“None are so busy as the fool and knave.”

“Just as there is no such thing as Christian physics or Muslim Algebra, we will see tht there is no such thing as Christian or Muslim morality.”
