More quotes by Felix Adler
The freedom of thought is a sacred right of every individual man, and diversity will continue to increase with the progress, refinement, and differentiation of the human intellect.
Felix Adler
An anxious unrest, a fierce craving desire for gain has taken possession of the commercial world, and in instances no longer rare the most precious and permanent goods of human life have been madly sacrificed in the interests of momentary enrichment.
Felix Adler
In order to join vigorously in the moral work of the world I must believe that somehow the best I can accomplish will endure, will leave its trace on things, will aid the final consummation.
Felix Adler
No religion can long continue to maintain its purity when the church becomes the subservient vassal of the state
Felix Adler
To care for anyone else enough to make their problems one's own, is ever the beginning of one's real ethical development.
Felix Adler
We stand, as it were, on the shore, and see multitudes of our fellow beings struggling in the water, stretching forth their arms, sinking, drowning, and we are powerless to assist them.
Felix Adler
Man is like a tree, with the mighty trunk of intellect, the spreading branches of imagination, and the roots of the lower instincts that bind him to the earth. The moral life, however, is the fruit he bears in it his true nature is revealed.
Felix Adler
Act so as to elicit the best in others and thereby in thyself.
Felix Adler
Act so as to encourage the best in others, and by so doing you will develop the best in yourself.
Felix Adler
You do not build your own houses, nor make your own garments, nor bake your own bread, simply because you know that if you were to attempt all these things they would all be more or less ill done.
Felix Adler
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.
Felix Adler
It is our hope, that men in proportion as they grow more enlightened, will learn to hold their theories and their creeds more loosely, and will none the less, nay, rather all the more be devoted to the supreme end of practical righteousness to which all theories and creeds must be kept subservient.
Felix Adler
People may be said to resemble the pieces of a puzzle, each unique, yet each essential to bring out a complete picture.
Felix Adler
The unique personality which is the real life in me, I cannot gain unless I search for the real life, the spiritual quality, in others.
Felix Adler
The platform of an Ethical Society is itself the altar the address must be the fire that burns thereon.
Felix Adler
The office of the public teacher is an unenviable and thankless one.
Felix Adler
Few are there that will leave the secure seclusion of the scholar's life, the peaceful walks of literature and learning, to stand out a target for the criticism of unkind and hostile minds.
Felix Adler
The truth which has made us free will in the end make us glad also. Every outcry against the oppression of some people by other people, or against what is morally hideous is the affirmation of the principle that a human being as such is not to be violated. A human being is not to be handled as a tool but is to be respected and revered.
Felix Adler
It is the moral element contained in it that alone gives value and dignity to a religion, and only in so far as its teachings serve to stimulate and purify our moral aspirations does it deserve to retain its ascendency over mankind.
Felix Adler
No one can fail to see that the power of the Church among large numbers in many communities is today diminishing, or has already ceased.
