A man who possesses a veneration of life will not simply say his prayers. He will throw himself into the battle to preserve life, if for no other reason than that he himself is an extension of life around him.

Anyone who has accustomed himself to regard the life of any living creature as worthless is in danger of arriving also at the idea of worthless human lives.

By respect for life we become religious in a way that is elementary, profound and alive.

The highest proof of the spirit is love. Love the eternal thing which can already on earth possess as it really is.

We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.

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

Living truth is that alone which has its origins in thinking. Just as a tree bears year after year the same fruit which is each year new, so must all permanently valuable ideas be continually born again in thought.
