As for slavery, there is no need for me to speak of its bad aspects. the only thing requiring explanation is the good side of slavery. i do not mean indirect slavery, the slavery of proletariat; i mean direct slavery, the slavery of the blacks in surinam, in brazil, in the southern regions of north america. direct slavery is as much the pivot upon which our present-day industrialism turns as are machinery, credit, etc. … slavery is therefore an economic category of paramount importance.

Faith is the surrender of the mind; it's the surrender of reason, it's the surrender of the only thing that makes us different from other mammals. it's our need to believe, and to surrender our skepticism and our reason, our yearning to discard that and put all our trust or faith in someone or something, that is the sinister thing to me. of all the supposed virtues, faith must be the most overrated.

Surrender means accepting this moment, this body, and this life with open arms. surrender involves getting out of your own way and living in accord with a higher will, expressed as the wisdom of the heart. far more than passive acceptance, surrender uses every challenge as a means of spiritual growth and expanded awareness.

There are three ways in which a man becomes a slave. he may be born into slavery, or forced into it, or he can deliberately accept his servitude. all three forms flourish in the modern world. men are born and forced into slavery in russia and her satellites states. men in the free world invite slavery when they ask the government to provide complete security, when they surrender their freedom to the "welfare state."

Man has been called a rational being, but rationality is a matter of choice... man has to be a man-by choice; he has to hold his life as a value-by choice; he has to learn to sustain it-by choice; he has to discover the values it requires and practice his virtues by choice. a code of values accepted by choice is a code of morality.

I am rather inclined to silence, and whether that be wise or not, it is at least more unusual nowadays to find a man who can hold his tongue than to find one who cannot.

There is perhaps, nothing more likely to disturb the tranquillity of nations, than their being bound to mutual contributions for any common object that does not yield an equal and coincident benefit. for it is an observation as true, as it is trite, that there is nothing men differ so readily about as the payment of money.

The first thing to get clear about christian morality between man and man is that in this department christ did not come to teach any brand new morality. the golden rule of the new testament (do as you would be done by) is a summing up of what everyone, at bottom, had always known to be right.
