(People) can never attain fulfillment, or sense of meaning, unless it is shared, unless it pertains to other human beings.

We may not know whether our understanding is correct, or whether our sentiments are noble, but the air of the day surrounds us like spring which spreads over the land without our aid or notice.

Awe enables us to see in the world intimations of the divine, to sense in small things the beginning of infinite significance, to sense the ultimate in the common and the simple, to feel in the rush of the passing the stillness of the eternal.

Life is not meaningful...unle ss it is serving an end beyond itself; unless it is of value to someone else.
