| Religion involves practice of methods and modes conducive to the realization of serenity, discipline, joyous detachment, and self-control. It should be observed that normally it is through the inattentive body, speech, and mind that all harmful and unethical conditions are created. Therefore, it naturally presupposes that the pacification, training, and taming of the physical, mental, and verbal activities are of fundamental importance. To sum up, it is essential first of all to rectify, nullify, and put a stop to all physical misconduct, followed by that of speech. |

| That hour in the life of a man when first the help of humanity fails him, and he learns that in his obscurity and indigence humanity holds him a dog and no man: that hour is a hard one, but not the hardest. There is still another hour which follows, when he learns that in his infinite comparative minuteness and abjectness, the gods do likewise despise him, and own him not of their clan. |
| ~ Herman Melville (1819–1891), U.S. author. Pierre (1852), bk. XXII, The Writings of Herman Melville, vol. 7, eds. Harrison Hayford, Hershel Parker, and G. Thomas Tanselle (1971). ~ |
