“Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.”

A thousand candles can be lighted from the flame of one candle.

Truth never damages a cause that is just.

Where there is love there is life.

When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won.

I will not let anyone walk through my mind with their dirty feet.

I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent.

There is no ‘way to peace,’ there is only ‘peace.

I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.

Our ability to reach unity in diversity will be the beauty and the test of our civilisation.

Hate the sin, love the sinner.

God has no religion.

I believe in the fundamental truth of all great religions of the world.

It is easy enough to be friendly to one’s friends.

My imperfections and failures are as much a blessing from God as my successes and my talents and I lay them both at his feet.

Nobody can hurt me without my permission.

Love never claims, it ever gives. Love ever suffers, never resents never revenges itself.

Freedom is something that dies unless it’s used.

She teaches me I am boundless and free. She teaches me my past does not define me.

It is okay to not be in control.

I was married for 36 years but now I’m free.

We have freedom to do good or evil; yet to make choice of evil, is not to use, but to abuse our freedom.

It is impossible for a man to be freed from the habit of sin before he hates it, just as it is impossible to receive forgiveness before confessing his trespasses.

I don’t want to be perfect. I want to be free.

Human kindness has never weakened the stamina or softened the fiber of a free people. A nation does not have to be cruel to be tough.
