• In the history of mankind there are recorded two great Inversions. The first, set forth by the Nazarene to the effect that love is a greater power and more real than vengeance. The second proclaimed the earth to be a sphere revolving in its course around the sun. These affirmations were made in the face of all evidence sacred to the contrary.

• Humanity looks upon Jesus the Nazarene as a poor-born Who suffered misery and humiliation with all of the weak. And He is pitied, for Humanity believes He was crucified painfully. . . . And all that Humanity offers to Him is crying and wailing and lamentation. For centuries Humanity has been worshiping weakness in the person of the Savior. The Nazarene was not weak! He was strong and is strong! But the people refuse to heed the true meaning of strength.

  Khalil Gibran

• El espíritu de Lincoln aún vive; ese espíritu nacido de las enseñanzas del Nazareno, que prometió misericordia a los misericordiosos, que levantó a los humildes, fortaleció a los débiles, comió con los publicanos y liberó a los cautivos. A la luz de este ejemplo divino, las doctrinas de los demagogos tiemblan en su paja.

• From these Christians who came to [Avalon] to escape the bigotry of their own kind I learned something, at last, of the Nazarene, the carpenter's son who had attained Godhead in his own life and preached a rule of tolerance; and so I came to see that my quarrel was never with the Christ, but with his foolish and narrow priests who mistook their own narrowness for his.

• Los hombres tienden al materialismo. Casas, tierras y bienes mundanos atraen su atención, y como un espejismo los atraen hacia la muerte. El cristianismo, en cambio, sólo conduce a la muerte el cuerpo natural, y para el espíritu señala una casa no construida por manos humanas, eterna en los cielos... Permíteme exhortarte a seguirlo, no como el Nazareno, el Hombre de Galilea, el hijo del carpintero, sino como la persona espiritual siempre viva, llena de amor y compasión, que estará a tu lado en la vida, en la muerte y en la eternidad.

• Are there not thousands who have loved virtue who did not accept Jesus Christ in any supernatural or miraculous fashion, who, if they knew of him at all, knew of him only as the Nazarene peasant - the man Jesus. Such was Abraham Lincoln, the tender prophet of the gospel of good will upon earth.

• Regardless of nationality, all men are brothers. God is "our Father who art in heaven." The commandment "Thou shalt not kill" is unconditional and inexorable. ... The lowly Nazarene taught us the doctrine of non-resistance, and so convinced was he of the soundness of that doctrine that he sealed his belief with death on the cross. ... When human law conflicts with Divine law, my duty is clear. Conscience, my infallible guide, impels me to tell you that prison, death, or both, are infinitely preferable to joining any branch of the Army.

• Soy judío, pero me cautiva la luminosa figura del Nazareno. Jesús es demasiado colosal para la pluma de los fraseólogos, por muy ingeniosa que sea". Y añadió: "Nadie puede leer los Evangelios sin sentir la presencia real de Jesús. Su personalidad palpita en cada palabra. Ningún mito está lleno de tanta vida... Teseo y otros héroes de su tipo carecen de la auténtica vitalidad de Jesús.

• Ya no soy un bípedo divino. Ya no soy el alemán más libre después de Goethe, como me llamó Ruge en tiempos más sanos. Ya no soy el gran héroe nº 2, al que se comparaba con el Dionisio coronado de uvas, mientras que mi colega nº 1 gozaba del título de un Júpiter weimariano del Gran Ducado. Ya no soy un alegre y algo corpulento helenista, que se ríe alegremente de los melancólicos nazarenos. Ahora soy un pobre judío fatalmente enfermo, un demacrado cuadro de desdicha, un hombre infeliz.
