We owe to the Jews in the Christian revelation a system of ethics which, even if it were entirely separated from the supernatural, would be incomparably the most precious possession of mankind, worth in fact the fruits of all other wisdom and learning put together. On that system and by that faith there has been built out of the wreck of the Roman Empire the whole of our existing civilization.

If Christ were here now there is one thing he would not be - a Christian.

The Christian churches and Christianity have nothing in common save in name: they are utterly hostile opposites. The churches are arrogance, violence, usurpation, rigidity, death; Christianity is humility, penitence, submissiveness, progress, life.

The Christian resolution to find the world ugly and bad has made the world ugly and bad.

The word 'Christianity' is already a misunderstanding - in reality there has been only one Christian, and he died on the Cross.

A Christian is never bored or sad. Rather, the one who loves Christ is full of joy and radiates joy.
