Ethical existence [is] the highest manifestation of spirituality.

Ethics, too, are nothing but reverence for life. This is what gives me the fundamental principle of morality, namely, that good consists in maintaining, promoting, and enhancing life, and that destroying, injuring, and limiting life are evil.

Not only is example the best way to teach, it is the only way.

Until he extends his circle of compassion to include all living things, man will not himself find peace.

Reverence for life brings us into a spiritual relation with the world which is independent of all knowledge of the universe.

If a man loses his reverence for any part of life, he will lose his reverence for all of life.

Seek always to do some good, somewhere... Even if it's a little thing, so something for those that need help, something for which you get no pay but the privilege of doing it.
