Felix Adler

“The freedom of the will is a postulate, a moral postulate.”

“The belief in a supernatural source of evil is not necessary; men are quite capable of every wickedness.”

“The moral law is a command to act in a certain way, but it is not a command to be happy.”

“Act so as to elicit the best in others and thereby in thyself.”

“The hero is one who kindles a great light in the world, who sets up blazing torches in the dark streets of life for men to see by.”

“The family is the school of duties - founded on love.”

“Ethical religion can be real only to those who are engaged in ceaseless battle with inhumanity.”

“Love is the expansion of two natures in such a way that each includes the other, each is enriched by the other.”
