You cannot truly love your fellows
by a mere act of will.
Love is only born of
thoroughgoing understanding
of your neighbour’s motives
and sentiments
It is not so important to love
all men today as it is that
each day you learn to love
one more human being
Love is infectious,
and when human devotion
is intelligent and wise,
love is more catching than hate
…the outstanding characteristics of
all religions are: unquestioning loyalty
and wholehearted devotion to supreme values
And this intense striving
for supermortal ideals is
always characterised by
increasing patience, forbearance,
fortitude and tolerance
Genuine religion takes nothing away
from human experience, but does add
new meanings to all of life;
it generates new types of
enthusiasm, zeal, and courage
One of the most amazing earmarks
of religious living is that dynamic
and sublime peace, that peace
which passes all human understanding,
that cosmic poise which betokens the
absence of all doubt and turmoil
The experience of religion
eventually results in the certain
consciousness of God and in the
undoubted assurance of the survival
of the believing personality
…it requires courage to invade
new levels of experience and to
attempt the exploration of unknown
realms of intellectual living
One believes truth, admires beauty, and reverences goodness,
but does not worship them;
such an attitude of saving faith is centered on God alone,
who is all of these personified and infinitely more
Faith does not shackle the creative imagination,
neither does it maintain an unreasoning prejudice
towards the discoveries of scientific investigation
