Ethics are complete, profound and alive only when addressed to all living beings. Only then are we in spiritual connection with the world. Any philosophy not representing this, not based on the indefinite totality of life, is bound to disappear.

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

Truth has no special time of its own. Its hour is now - always.

Grow into your ideals so that life cannot rob you of them.
