Let me give you a definition of ethics: It is good to maintain and further life it is bad to damage and destroy life.

I do not know what your destiny may be, but I do know this, that not one of you will find the happiness that each of you is seeking until you have first sought and found a way in which to unselfishly serve others.

The mistake made by all previous systems of ethics has been the failure to recognize that life as such is the mysterious value with which they have to deal. All spiritual life meets us within natural life. Reverence for life, therefore, is applied to natural life and spiritual life alike. In the parable of Jesus, the shepherd saves not merely the soul of the lost sheep but the whole animal. The stronger the reverence for natural life, the stronger grows also that for spiritual life.

Knowing all truth is less than doing a little bit of good.

Think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flames within us.

I am certain and have always stressed that the destination of mankind is to become more and more humane. The ideal of humanity has to be revived.

There is much coldness among men because we do not dare to be as cordial as we really are.
