4. ON BEING A SOLDIER
“I regard myself as a soldier, though a soldier of
peace.“
5. ON FAITH IN HUMANITY
“You must not lose faith in
humanity. Humanity is an
ocean; if a few drops of
the ocean are dirty, the
ocean does not become
dirty."
7. ON THE SEVEN SINS
“Seven social sins: politics without principles, wealth
without work, pleasure without conscience, knowledge
without character, commerce without morality, science
without humanity, and worship without sacrifice."
8. ON TRUTH
“An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied
propagation, nor does truth become error because nobody
sees it. Truth stands, even if there be no public support. It
is self sustained.”
9. ON THE "STILL SMALL VOICE"
“The only tyrant I accept in this world is the 'still small voice'
within me. And even though I have to face the prospect of
being a minority of one, I humbly believe I have the
courage to be in such a hopeless minority.”
10. ON LIBERTY
“I’m a lover of my own liberty, and so I would do
nothing to restrict yours.”
