Jesus Christ

Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne, and myself founded empires; but what foundation did we rest the creations of our genius? Upon force. Jesus Christ founded an empire upon love; and at this hour millions of men would die for Him.

Thinking as I do that the Creator of this world is a very cruel being, and being a worshipper of Christ, I cannot help saying: ''the Son, O how unlike the Father!'' First God Almighty comes with a thump on the head. Then Jesus Christ comes with a balm to heal it.

By a Carpenter mankind was made, and only by that Carpenter can mankind be remade.

A man who was completely innocent, offered himself as a sacrifice for the good of others, including his enemies, and became the ransom of the world. It was a perfect act.

You should point to the whole man Jesus and say, ''That is God.''

I believe in person to person. Every person is Christ for me, and since there is only one Jesus, that person is the one person in the world at that moment.

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

Jesus is the God whom we can approach without pride and before whom we can humble ourselves without despair.

A heroic figure... not wholly to blame for the religion that's been foisted on him.

The Galilean is not a favorite of mine. So far from owing him any thanks for his favor, I cannot avoid confessing that I owe a secret grudge to his carpentership.
