“The idealists and visionaries, foolish enough to throw caution to the winds and express their ardor and faith in some supreme deed, have advanced mankind and have enriched the world.”

“But a sincere idealist, implicitly pan-Deist in faith, deeply concerned with the problems of the world and of time, can be a Ghibelline pope, and Dante's Ghibellines have at last triumphed.”

“Advanced cultures are usually sophisticated enough, or have been sophisticated enough at some point in their pasts, to realize that foxes shouldn't be relied on to guard henhouses.”

“There is no refuge from memory and remorse in this world. The spirits of our foolish deeds haunt us, with or without repentance.”

“The security of our world is found in the advancing rights of mankind.”

“Have faith in creator of this universe believe that he is omnipresent and Supreme power.”

“Now that I have seen I am responsible, faith without deeds is dead.”

“Some of us have young faith, some broken faith, and some mature faith.”

“Our first duty is not to hate ourselves, because to advance we must have faith in ourselves first and then in God. Those who have no faith in themselves can never have faith in God.”

“How far that little candle throws his beams! So shines a good deed in a weary world.”
