Wherever I look I see signs of the commandment to honor one's parents and nowhere of a commandment that calls for the respect of a child.

In my book I specifically discussed the structural nature of injustice and offered Nine Touchstones of Goddess ethics as an alternative to the Ten Commandments of Biblical religion.

The irony of the Supreme Court hearing on these cases last week and of the outright hostility that the Court has displayed against religion in recent years is that above the head of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court is a concrete display of the Ten Commandments.

Religion is the recognition of all our duties as divine commands.

How shall I be able to rule over others that have not full power and command of myself?

Power acquired by violence is only a usurpation and lasts only as long as the force of him who commands prevails over that of those who obey.

Peace is not the product of a victory or a command. It has no finishing line no final deadline no fixed definition of achievement. Peace is a never-ending process the work of many decisions.

Heroism on command senseless violence and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism - how passionately I hate them!

No man has received from nature the right to command his fellow human beings.

Nature has not got two voices you know one of them condemning all day what the other commands.
