It is not necessary to dwell on the political and social principles of Islam, to underline how close they also are in spirit to the concepts of human rights which govern the political and social systems of the West

It is apparent that Christianity and Islam must come, and come immediately, to a closer understanding, and it is equally apparent that their unity if achieved, will be the most effective defensive measure against Communist expansion

Fortunately, historians are now beginning to recognize the historic role of Islam as a liberating force for peoples oppressed by the burdens of unjust social systems

In the early centuries of Islam, the great schools of Islamic jurisprudence were built upon the above principles. Basic to all their legal systems they developed the doctrine that liberty is the fundamental basis of law

Western powers have never given sufficient importance to the Muslim world. They have always been inclined to treat it as a big backward and lethargic child

The contribution of Islam to history and modern civilization is the product of the efforts of peoples of many races and tongues which came to accept its way of life

Russia knows of the vulnerability of her frontiers in this part of the world

God gives the nuts, but he does not crack them

Every revolution evaporates and leaves behind only the slime of a new bureaucracy

Dread of night. Dread of not-night

By imposing too great a responsibility, or rather, all responsibility, on yourself, you crush yourself

Believing in progress does not mean believing that any progress has yet been made

Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old

A stair not worn hollow by footsteps is, regarded from its own point of view, only a boring something made of wood

A man of action forced into a state of thought is unhappy until he can get out of it
