Where there is righteousness in the heart, there is beauty in the character. When there is beauty in the character, there is harmony in the home. When there is harmony in the home, there is order in the nation. When there is order in the nation, there is peace in the world.

The eye of a human being is a microscope, which makes the world seem bigger than it really is.

For ninety per cent of those who view him from outside, the Christian God looks like a great landowner administering his estates, the world. Now this conventional picture, which is too well justified by appearances, corresponds in no way to the dogmatic basis or point of view of the Gospels.

The theoretical understanding of the world, which is the aim of philosophy, is not a matter of great practical importance to animals, or to savages, or even to most civilised men.

Some say the world will end in fire, some say in ice.

Meanwhile, fears of universal disaster sank to an all time low over the world.

Even with all the advantages of retrospect, and a lot of witnesses dead and gone, you can’t make your life look as if you intended it or you were consistent. All you can show is how you dealt with various hands.

The lawyer’s truth is not Truth, but consistency or a consistent expediency.

Nature is a mutable cloud which is always and never the same.

It is justice and respect that I want the world to dust off and put – without delay, and with tenderness – back on the head of the Palestinian child. It will be imperfect justice and respect because the injustice and disrespect have been so severe. But I believe we are right to try.

The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is comprehensible.

The darkness is really out there. It’s not something that’s in my head, just. It’s in my work because it’s in the world.
