We must never allow the voice of humanity within us to be silenced. It is humanity's sympathy with all creatures that first makes us truly human.

Anyone who proposes to do good must not expect people to roll stones out of his way, but must accept his lot calmly if they even roll a few more on it. A strength which becomes clearer and stronger through experiences of such obstacles is the only strength that can conquer them. Resistance is only a waste of strength.

Ethics is the activity of man directed to secure the inner perfection of his own personality.

Man's ethics must not end with man, but should extend to the universe. He must regain the consciousness of the great Chain of Life from which he cannot be separated.

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

The harvested fields bathed in the autumn mist speak of God and his goodness far more vividly than any human lips.

It is not always granted to the sower to see the harvest.
