The Family Is The School Of Duties

Love Is The Expansion Of Two Natures In Such Fashion That Each Include The Other, Each Is Enriched By The Other. Love Is An Echo In The Feelings Of A Unity Subsisting Between Two Persons Which Is Founded Both On Likeness And On Complementary Differences. Without The Likeness There Would Be No Attraction; Without The Challenge Of The Complementary Differences There Could Not Be The Closer Interweaving And The Inextinguishable Mutual Interest Which Is The Characteristic Of All Deeper Relationships.

As The Light Of Morning Strikes Now One Peak And Then Another, Some Being Illuminated While Others Are In The Shadow, So The Light Of The Essential Moral Principle Shines Now Upon One Duty And Then Upon Another, While Others Are In The Shadow.

No Religion Can Long Continue To Maintain Its Purity When The Church Becomes The Subservient Vassal Of The State

To Care For Anyone Else Enough To Make Their Problems One's Own, Is Ever The Beginning Of One's Real Ethical Development.

Ethical Religion Affirms The Continuity Of Progress Toward Moral Perfection. It Affirms That The Spiritual Development Of The Human Race Cannot Be Prematurely Cut Off, Either Gradually Or Suddenly; That Every Stone Of Offence Against Which We Stumble Is A Stepping-stone To Some Greater Good; That, At The End Of Days, If We Choose To Put It So, Or, Rather, In Some Sphere Beyond The World Of Space And Time, All The Rays Of Progress Will Be Summed And Centred In A Transcendent Focus.
