In essentials unity, in non-essentials liberty, in all things charity and love.

Greg Laurie

I think that we're guided by the motto in "essentials unity, non essentials liberty and in all things charity." So if pastors compromise essential Christian doctrine, I think that there is a biblical warrant for naming them.

Hank Hanegraaff

On the essentials, unity. On the nonessentials, liberty. In everything, charity.

Jack Hyles

Unity in things Necessary, Liberty in things Unnecessary, and Charity in all.

Richard Baxter

In necessary things, unity; in doubtful things, liberty; in all things, charity.

Anne Baxter

In what is necessary, unity; in what is not necessary, liberty and in all things charity.

Saint Augustine

In this world, unity is achievable only by learning to unite in spite of differences, rather than insisting on unity without differences. For their total eradication is an impossibility. The secret of attaining peace in life is tolerance of disturbance of the peace. (p. 99)

Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

The things that have acquired unity are these: Heaven by unity has become clear; Earth by unity has become steady; The Spirit by unity has become spiritual; The Valley by unity has become full; All things by unity have come into existence.

Laozi

Peace is not unity in similarity but unity in diversity, in the comparison and conciliation of differences.

Mikhail Gorbachev

To understand one another, and to grow in charity and truth, we need to pause, to accept and listen to one another. In this way we already begin to experience unity. Unity grows along the way, it never stands still. Unity happens when we walk together.

Pope Francis

Man is this plural and collective unity in which the unity of destination and the differences of destinies are to be understood through each other.

Paul Ricoeur

Man is this plural and collective unity in which the unity of destination and the differences of destinies are to be understood through each other

Paul Ricoeur

We should always be looking for the unity in things instead of the differences.

Genesis P-Orridge

In the things that really matter--our covenants, the commandments, and following the prophet--we need to be completely united. In the non-essentials, we have our agency to handle things as we see fit. But, in all things, regardless of whether we make the same choices or not, we are to treat each other with dignity and respect, both of which are evidences of charity in our hearts and lives.

Sheri L. Dew

Unity, not uniformity, must be our aim. We attain unity only through variety. Differences must be integrated, not annihilated, not absorbed.

Mary Parker Follett

Would we hold liberty, we must have charity- charity to others, charity to ourselves, crawling up from the moist ovens of a steaming world, still carrying the passional equipment of our ferocious ancestors, emerging from black superstition amid carnage and atrocity to our perilous present.

Learned Hand
