The early Mussalmans accepted Islam not because they knew it to be revealed but because it appealed to their virgin reason.
A perfect Muslim is he from whose tongue and hands mankind is safe.
I would like to say that that even the teachings of the Koran cannot be exempted from criticism.
Journalism has become the art of “intelligent anticipation of events.”
The sole aim of journalism should be service.
Journalism should never be prostituted for selfish ends or for the sake of merely earning a livelihood or, worse still, for amassing money.
Journalism has a distinct place in familiarizing and expressing public opinion.
A journalist’s peculiar function is to read the mind of the country and to give definite and fearless expression to that mind.
The newspaperman has become a walking plague. He spreads the contagion of lies and calumnies.
Newspapers today have almost replaced the Bible, the Koran, the Gita and other religious scriptures.
The press is called the Fourth Estate. It is definitely a power, but to misuse that power is criminal.
Newspapers should be read for the study of facts. They should not be allowed to kill the habit of independent thinking.

Without devotion, action and knowledge are cold and dry and many even become shackles.
Knowledge of the tallest scientist or the greatest spiritualist is like a particle of dust.
