"...a man of strong will, authoritative and proud, but of gentle manner and speech, and of infinite benevolence. He claimed enlightenment but not inspiration; he never pretended that a god was speaking through him. In controversy he was more patient and considerate than any other of the great teachers of mankind.
Like Lao-tze and Christ, he wished to return good for evil, love for hate; and he remained silent under misunderstanding and abuse."
Will Durant, American historian, philosopher and Pulitzer Prize winner
