A human being is a part of the whole that we call the universe, a part limited in time and space. This illusion is a prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for only the few people nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living beings and all of nature. But to befriend the one who regards himself as your enemy is the quintessence of true religion. The other is mere business.
Toleration is the best religion.
Each blow he strikes in his own behalf helps to mold the universe. Rather it condemns the oppression or persecution of others. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children's future. And we are all mortal.
