"I love you when you bow in your mosque,

kneel in your temple, pray in your church.

For you and I are sons of one religion,

and it is the spirit."

.

"Faith is an oasis in the heart

which can never be reached by

the caravan of thinking."
 .

. . .
  "Advance, and never halt, for advancing is perfection. Advance and do not fear the thorns in the path, for they draw only corrupt blood."
  . . .
  "Are you a politician asking what your country can do for you, or a zealous one asking what you can do for your country? If you are the first, then you are a parasite; if the second, then you are an oasis in the desert."

.

 "Nor shall derision prove powerful against those  who listen to humanity or those who follow  in the footsteps of divinity,   for they shall live forever. Forever."
