He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.

But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.

"[W]e must master the art of living together, the finest of all arts, whereby men of many races and many faiths dwell in mutual respect and goodwill. While we have made great strides toward that goal, we are still far from it. Still there is racial rancor - a thing slithered with blood and black with bitterness; still there is religious bigotry which blasphemes the genius of brotherhood. For such things there is no place in this our Brotherland, where men rule themselves, and no man has any right that does not belong to all his fellows." - Brother Joseph Fort Newton
