To a people famishing and idle, the only acceptable form in which God can dare appear is work and promise of food as wages.
My religion teaches me that a promise once made or a vow once taken for a worthy object may not be broken.
Personally, I hold that a man, who deliberately and intelligently takes a pledge and then breaks it, forfeits his manhood.
God's word is: 'He who strives never perishes.' I have implicit faith in that promise. Though, therefore, from my weakness I fail a thousand times, I shall not lose faith.
Never make a promise in haste.
A clean confession combined with a promise never to commit the sin again, when offered before one who has the right to receive it, is the purest type of repentance.
Breach of promise is no less an act of insolvency than a refusal to pay one's debt.
Breach of promise is a base surrender of truth.
Anger and intolerance are the twin enemies of correct understanding
An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind.
An eye for an eye would make the whole world blind.
An eye for an eye and everyone shall be blind
Satisfaction lies in the effort not the attainment. Full effort is full victory.
Be the change you want to see in the world.
