Once a man recognizes himself as a being surrounded by other beings in this world and begins to respect his life and take it to the highest value, he becomes a thinking being. Then he values other lives and experiences them as part of his own life. With that, his goal is to help everyone take their life to the highest value; anything which limits or destroys a life is evil. That is morality. That is how men are related to the world around them.

If the extension of your compassion does not include all living beings, then you will be unable to find peace by yourself.

We are all so much together, but we are all dying of loneliness.

Man can no longer live his life for himself alone. We realize that all life is valuable and that we are united to all this life. From this knowledge comes our spiritual relationship to the universe.

Soldiers' graves are the greatest preachers of peace.

The gratitude that we encounter helps us believe in the goodness of the world, and strengthens us thereby to do what's good.

Anyone who has accustomed himself to regard the life of any living creature as worthless is in danger of arriving also at the idea of worthless human lives.
