Set a great example. Someone may imitate it.

Any profound view of the world is mysticism. It has, of course, to deal with life and the world, both of which are nonrational entities.

Whoever is spared personal pain must feel himself called to help in diminishing the pain of others. We must all carry our share of the misery which lies upon the world.
