“Where there is Love and Wisdom, there is neither Fear nor Ignorance. Where there is Patience and Humility, there is neither Anger nor Annoyance. Where there is Poverty and Joy, there is neither Cupidity nor Avarice. Where there is Peace and Contemplation, there is neither Care nor Restlessness. Where there is the Fear of God to guard the dwelling, there no enemy can enter. Where there is Mercy and Prudence, there is neither Excess nor Harshness.”

“Where there is love, there is justice - where there is no love, there is no justice. And love is the purest form of expectation-less kindness, hence kindness itself is justice. So, to be kind is, to be loving, and to be loving is, to be just. Call it love, call it kindness, call it spirituality, call it justice, it's all one.”

“Where there is no bitterness there is serenity. Where there is no compassion there is cruelty. Where there is no anger there is comaradie. Where there is no wrath there is harmony. Where there is no truth there is dishonesty. Where there is no arrogance there is humility. Where there is no faith there is apathy. Where there is no hope there is misery. Where there is no doubt there is certainty. Where there is no understanding there is enmity. Where there is no intelligence there is idiocy. Where there is no sense there is lunacy. Where there is no wisdom there is absurdity. Where there is no sin there is liberty. Where there is no God there is vanity. Where there is no imagination there is reality. Where there is no proof there is fantasy. Where there is no limit there is infinity. Where there is no time there is eternity. Where there is no chance there is destiny.”

“Where there is no danger of overt action there is rarely any interference with freedom. That is why there has so often been amazing freedom of opinion within an aristocratic class which at the same time sanctioned the ruthless suppression of heterodox opinion among the common people.
