Kindness works simply and perseveringly; it produces no strained relations which prejudice its working; strained relations which already exist it relaxes. Mistrust and misunderstanding it puts to flight, and it strengthens itself by calling forth answering kindness. Hence it is the furthest reaching and the most effective of all forces.

Reverence for life affords me my fundamental principle of morality.

I am life that wants to live, in the midst of life that wants to live.

The result of the voyage does not depend on the speed of the ship, but on whether or not it keeps a true course.

The ethic of Reverence for Life is the ethic of Love widened into universality.

Your soul suffers if you live superficially.
