Will Durant
“When the universe has crushed him man will still be nobler than that which kills him, because he knows that he is dying, and of its victory the universe knows nothing.”
Will Durant, The Lessons of History

Denise A. Spellberg
“So, if they hold aloof from you and wage not war against you and offer you peace, Allah alloweth you no way against them” (Qur’an 4:90).”
Denise A. Spellberg, Thomas Jefferson's Qur'an: Islam and the Founders

“To have another language is to possess a second soul.”
Charlemagne

Denise A. Spellberg
“The liberty I contend for is more than toleration. The very idea of toleration is despicable; it supposes that some have a pre-eminence above the rest, to grant indulgence; whereas, all should be equally free, Jews, Turks, Pagans and Christians. Test oaths and established creeds, should be avoided as the worst of evils. —John Leland, “Virginia Chronicle,” 1790”
Denise A. Spellberg, Thomas Jefferson's Qur'an: Islam and the Founders
