Every experience proves that the real problem of our existence lies in the fact that we ought to love one another, but do not.

Those who love not their fellow-beings live unfruitful lives, and prepare for their old age a miserable grave.

The universal brotherhood of man is our most precious possession, what there is of it.

Our true nationality is mankind.

A "fraternity" is the antithesis of fraternity. The first (that is, the order of organization) is predicated on the idea of exclusion; the second (that is, the abstract thing) is based on a feeling of total equality.

I sought my soul-but my soul eluded me; I sought my God-but my God eluded me; I sought my brother-and found all three.

The world is now too dangerous for anything but the truth, too small for anything but brotherhood.

While there is a lower class I am in it, while there is a criminal element I am of it; while there is a soul in prison, I am not free.

We are all gathered to the same fold.

We seek not the worldwide victory of one nation or system but a worldwide victory of men.
