Such degraded religion never leads to light but only to darkness.”

“The task of the educator lies in seeing that the child does not confound good with immobility and evil with activity.”

“Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction.”

“The whole course of human history may depend on a change of heart in one solitary and even humble individual - for it is in the solitary mind and soul of the individual that the battle between good and evil is waged and ultimately won or lost.”

“The lack of money is the root of all evil.”

“... a bad attitude, that the love of money is the root of all evil and the rich are evil and greedy and all that stuff. It’s basically socialism and communism.”
