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

All art speaks in signs and symbols. No one can explain how it happens that the artist can waken to life in us the existence that he has seen and lives through. No artistic speech is the adequate expression of what it represents; its vital force comes from what is unspoken in it.

There is no higher religion than human service.

The highest knowledge is to know that we are surrounded by mystery.

The deeper we look into nature, the more we recognize that it is full of life, and the more profoundly we know that all life is a secret and that we are united with all life that is in nature.

Impart as much as you can of your spiritual being to those who are on the road with you, and accept as something precious what comes back to you from them.

You must not expect anything from others. It's you, of yourself, of whom you must ask a lot. Only from oneself has one the right to ask everything and anything. This way it's up to you - your own choices - what you get from others remains a present, a gift.
