I try hard not to preach, but I get carried away, which is a mistake, but it's a risk worth running.

I do not mean that you could continue to do this with propriety or even with safety; I merely assert that the power is, in point of fact, in your hands. And for such a power, what a responsibility to God and man!

Why do you not practice what you preach.

I will not surrender responsibility for my life and my actions.

That you may retain your self-respect, it is better to displease the people by doing what you know is right, than to temporarily please them by doing what you know is wrong.

I just do whatever it is that I believe I should do, regardless of the risks to my life.

I think when you're dealing with faith, you want to be as responsible and sensitive to the material as you can.

I don't have a set of tenets, but I live an ethical life. I practice a humility that presupposes there's a power greater than myself. And I always believe, don't inflict harm where it's not necessary.

To act is to be committed, and to be committed is to be in danger.

I cannot consistently, with self respect, do other than I have, namely, to deliberately violate an act which seems to me to be a denial of everything which ideally and in practice I hold sacred.
