Religion must mainly be a matter of principles only. It cannot be a matter of rules. The moment it degenerates into rules, it ceases to be a religion, as it kills responsibility which is an essence of the true religious act.

People are so brainwashed by the rules that they don't know what really matters.

One of the things that I noticed in war was how difficult it was for our soldiers, at first, to realize that there are no rules to war. Our men were raised in sports, where a referee runs a football game, or an umpire a baseball game, and so forth.

If the rules are such that you can't make progress, then you have to fight the rules.

When you have to hold a hot coffee-pot, it is better not to break the handle off.

The clearest way to show what the rule of law means to us in everyday life is to recall what has happened when there is no rule of law.
