The theory of science which permits and encourages the exclusion of so much that is true and real and existent cannot be considered a comprehensive science.

There are no perfect human beings! Persons can be found who are good, very good indeed, in fact, great. There do in fact exist creators, seers, sages, saints, shakers, and movers...even if they are uncommon and do not come by the dozen. And yet these very same people can at times be boring, irritating, petulant, selfish, angry, or depressed. To avoid disillusionment with human nature, we must first give up our illusions about it.

Be independent of the good opinion of other people.

All of life is education and everybody is a teacher and everybody is forever a pupil.

We must understand love; we must be able to teach it, to create it, to predict it, or else the world is lost to hostility and to suspicion.

Getting used to our blessings is one of the most important non-evil generators of human evil, tragedy and suffering.

Well why not a technology of joy, of happiness?
