- "Look at the grand pronouncements issued by the presidents of big world powers, now and before. They always speak in good terms - they always speak in terms of 'world peace', in terms of 'justice' - but are they just within their own countries?" — Mirza Tahir Ahmad
- "Is their own country at peace? If it is in turmoil, if crime is rampant, if peace is broken on every street and dashed to the ground in every home, then making the tall claim of inviting people to peace and to God would be just a hollow and meaningless claim - if not fraud! It is both! It is a meaningless claim and also a big fraud played upon the world." — Mirza Tahir Ahmad
- "The misery of our Oriental nations is the misery of the world, and what you call civilization in the West is naught but another spectre of the many phantoms of tragic deception." — Kahlil Gibran
- "Eternal slavery to teachings, to customs, and to history will remain slavery even if she paints her face and disguises her voice. Slavery will remain slavery in all her horrible form, even if she calls herself Liberty." — Kahlil Gibran
- "No, my brother, the West is not higher than the East, nor is the West lower than the East, and the difference that stands between the two is not greater than the difference between a tiger and a lion." — Kahlil Gibran
