Quotes by Sultan Nazrin Shah (?)

“Seharusnya umat Islam memahami tuntutan keadilan dan sikap bertoleransi. Toleransi yang dimaksudkan tidak bererti umat Islam diperlukan mengakui doktrin keyakinan agama lain kerana dalam persoalan akidah, Islam tidak sama sekali berkompromi dengan kesyirikan. Toleransi yang dimaksudkan oleh Islam, menyentuh aspek muamalah harian iaitu perkara-perkara berkaitan urusan dunia dan kehidupan manusia di samping mengamalkan akhlak yang baik ketika berkomunikasi dengan penganut agama lain.”
― Sultan Nazrin Shah

“Insan berpelajaran mungkin menguasai pelbagai pengetahuan tetapi tidak merasa bersalah memanipulasikan pengetahuan untuk kepentingan diri, meski mengakibatkan kesengsaraan kepada insan lain dan kehidupan alam; sementara insan berpendidikan adalah insan berilmu yang dilengkapi komponen roh, lalu menyedari akan etika dan batas yang wajib dihormati.”
