“In all matters moderation is desirable. If a thing is carried to excess, it will prove a source of evil.”

Let not a man glory in this, that he loves his country; let him rather glory in this, that he loves his kind…

Let your eye be chaste, your hand faithful, your tongue truthful and your heart enlightened.

Purge thy heart from malice and, innocent of envy, enter the divine court of holiness.

All peoples and nations are of one family, the children of one Father, and should be to one another as brothers and sisters.

The Word is the master key for the whole world, inasmuch as through its potency the doors of the hearts of men, which in reality are the doors of heaven, are unlocked.

Be generous in prosperity, and thankful in adversity. Be worthy of the trust of thy neighbor, and look upon him with a bright and friendly face. Be a treasure to the poor, an admonisher to the rich, an answerer of the cry of the needy, a preserver of the sanctity of thy pledge.

Lay not on any soul a load that you would not wish to be laid upon you, and desire not for any one the things you would not desire for yourself.

Bring thyself to account each day ere thou art summoned to a reckoning; for death, unheralded, shall come upon thee and thou shalt be called to give account for thy deeds.

Noble have I created thee, yet thou hast abased thyself. Rise then unto that for which thou wast created.

Regard man as a mine rich in gems of inestimable value. Education can, alone, cause it to reveal its treasures, and enable mankind to benefit there from.

The true seeker hunts naught but the object of his quest, and the lover has no desire save union with his Beloved.

Verily we are from God, and to Him shall we return!

The True Seeker must, before all else, cleanse his heart.

Peace be upon him who follows the Straight Path!

The earth is but one country and mankind its citizens.

Speak no evil, that thou mayest not hear it spoken unto thee, and magnify not the faults of others that thine own faults may not appear great.

I think one of the great things about a football season is that you see teams play in all types of environments, and if you can’t handle one of them, you probably don’t deserve to win anyway.

The latest computer modeling I’ve seen indicates that at mid-century, there might be 150 million people classified as “environmental refugees.”

I believe very strongly that corporations could and should be a major force for resolving social and environmental concerns in the twenty-first century.

A primary function of art and thought is to liberate the individual from the tyranny of his culture in the environmental sense and to permit him to stand beyond it in an autonomy of perception and judgment.

Feeling that morality has nothing to do with the way you use the resources of the world is an idea that can’t persist much longer. If it does, then we won’t.

We are in an environmental crisis which threatens the survival of this nation, and of the world as a suitable place of human habitation.

I’m such an advocate for animal rights and environmental rights.

The environmental crisis is a sign that the ecosphere is now so heavily strained that its continued stability is threatened. It is a warning that we must discover the source of this suicidal drive and master it before it destroys the environment-and ourselves.
