The ethic of Reverence for Life prompts us to keep each other alert to what troubles us and to speak and act dauntlessly together in discharging the responsibility that we feel. It keeps us watching together for opportunities to bring some sort of help to animals in recompense for the great misery that men inflict upon them, and thus for a moment we escape from the incomprehensible horror of existence.

Ethics is in its unqualified form extended responsibility with regard to everything that has life.

Only through love can we obtain communion with God.

Pain is a more terrible lord of mankind than even death itself.

I am certain and have always stressed that the destination of mankind is to become more and more humane. The ideal of humanity has to be revived.

You ask me for a motto. Here it is: SERVICE.

Ethics is nothing else than reverence for life.
