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.

Think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flames within us.

Any religion or philosophy which is not based on a respect for life is not a true religion or philosophy.

To educate yourself for the feeling of gratitude means to take nothing for granted.

My view is that we stand up for treating the animals in a considerate way, for completely renouncing the eating of meat and also for speaking out against it. This is what I do myself. And in this way many a one becomes aware of a problem that was put forward so late.

Just as the wave cannot exist for itself, but is ever a part of the heaving surface of the ocean, so must I never live my life for itself, but always in the experience which is going on around me.

All the kindness which a man puts out into the world works on the heart and thoughts of mankind.
