The only thing of importance, when we depart, will be the traces of love we have left behind.

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

The true worth of a man is not to be found in man himself, but in the colours and textures that come alive in others.

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

I decided that I would make my life my argument.

We wander through this life together in a semi-darkness in which none of us can distinguish exactly the features of his neighbour. Only from time to time, through some experience that we have of our companion, or through some remark that he passes, he stands for a moment close to us, as though illuminated by a flash of lightning. Then we see him as he really is.

Reverence for life is the highest court of appeal.
