Never forget that everything Hitler did in Germany was legal.

If I thought the world were to end tomorrow, I would still plant an apple tree today.

The time is always right to do what is right.

That old law about "an eye for an eye" leaves everybody blind.

My faith in man is, at bottom, a faith in God.

He (Jesus) knew that the old eye-for-eye philosophy would leave everyone blind. He did not seek to overcome evil with evil. He overcame evil with good. Although crucified by hate, he responded with aggressive love.

At the center of non-violence stands the principle of love.

The modern choice is between non-violence or non-existence.
