“Human language can but imperfectly describe God's ways. I am sensible of the fact that they are indescribable and inscrutable. But if mortal man will dare to describe them, he has no better medium than his own inarticulate speech.”

“The earth has everything for all human needs, but nothing for his greed.”

“Just as a man would not cherish living in a body other than his own, so do nations not like to live under other nations, however noble and great the latter may be.”

“Nothing has saddened me so much in life as the hardness of heart of educated people.”

Experience has taught me that silence is part of the spiritual discipline of a votary of truth. We find so many people impatient to talk.

It has helped me in my discernment of truth.”

“As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world - that is the myth of the atomic age - as in being able to remake ourselves.”
