Forgiveness is the final form of love.

The final test of religious faith is whether it will enable men to endure insecurity without complacency or despair, whether it can so interpret the ancient verities that they will not become mere escape hatches from responsibilities but instruments of insights into what civilization means.

Men still have to be governed by deception.

Kisses are the language of love.
