Sincerity is the way to heaven.

Sincerity is moral truth.

Eradicating a religion of kindness is, I think, a terrible thing for the Chinese to attempt.

In the schools of the Western countries, there is always the subject 'Religion.' The Classics are China's religion.

No student of Chinese history can say that the Chinese are incapable of religious experience, even when judged by the standards of medieval Europe or pious India.

The Chinese state is constructed in an entirely different way from western states. Unlike European states, for over a millennium the Chinese state has not been obliged to compete for power with rivals such as the church, the aristocracy or merchants.

If, by one determined purpose, the hearts of all the graduates, the officials, and the men of China were united, our country would rest upon a great rock, and we could defy the world to overthrow us. To attain this object, it is necessary first that every man should fulfill his duty to his parents and elders. The country would then be at peace.

Practically all the prominent leaders of thought in China today are openly agnostics and even atheists.

Happy and fortunate indeed would this nation be, nay, completely blessed, if it had good prelates and pastors, and but one prince, and that prince a good one.

China no longer has an ideology that makes any sense to them, but what they do have is great pride in the Chinese nation.
