		<description><![CDATA[Compassion without reason is ineffective; reason without compassion is destructive.
&#8220;Man has been endowed with reason, with the power to create, so that he can add to what he&#8217;s been given. But up to now he hasn&#8217;t been a creator, only a destroyer. Forests keep disappearing, rivers dry up, wild life&#8217;s become extinct, the climate&#8217;s ruined [...]]]></description>

“In extracting the pure principles which he [Jesus] taught, we should have to strip off the artificial vestments in which they have been muffled by priests, who have travestied them into various forms, as instruments of riches and power to themselves….We must reduce our volume to the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How can you make resolutions you&#8217;ll actually keep?
Making general resolutions to change (&#8221;I&#8217;ll lose weight&#8221; / &#8220;I&#8217;ll stop smoking&#8221; / &#8220;I&#8217;ll do something about my job&#8221;) rarely results in actually achieving what you resolve.
Those general statements are good starts, though.

He said it several different ways.  Here are two I can document as actually being from him:
