I don't have to participate in another culture's ceremonies in order to respect that culture.

Being a monarchist - saying that one small group is born more worthy of respect than another - is just as warped and strange as being a racist.

I have a rule on my team: when we talk to one another we look each other right in the eye because I think it's tough to lie to somebody. You give respect to somebody.

Respect for another man's opinion is worthy. It is the realization that any opinion is valuable for it is the sign of a rational being.

But really we also need to learn how to love one another as women. How to appreciate and respect each other.

One of the most sincere forms of respect is actually listening to what another has to say.

The little religion that I have clung to-that what matters most is the continuity of life and its improvement from one generation to another.

And these two elements are at odds with one another because Freud is utterly adversary to almost all the ways of structuring the human experience found in Western religions. No Western religion can countenance Freud's view of man.

My philosophy is to do the best you can for somebody. Help. It's not just what do you for yourself. It's how you treat people decently. The golden rule. There isn't big anything better than the golden rule. It's in every major religion in one language or another.

It's one thing to be religious but it's another thing to make religion your policy.

I was told to challenge every spiritual teacher every world leader to utter the one sentence that no religion no political party and no nation on the face of the earth will dare utter: 'Ours is not a better way ours is merely another way.

We have enough religion to make us hate but not enough to make us love one another.

Whoever seeks to set one religion against another seeks to destroy all religion.

Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors interpreting them as facts then you are in trouble.

Whether you call it Buddhism or another religion self-discipline that's important. Self-discipline with awareness of consequences.
