If the extension of your compassion does not include all living beings, then you will be unable to find peace by yourself.

At 20 everyone has the face that God gave them, at 40 the face that life gave them, and at 60 the face they earned.

Don't blame, forgive, All healing is self-healing

Whatever you have received more than others-in health, in talents, in ability, in success, in a pleasant childhood, in harmonious conditions of home life-all this you must not take to yourself as a matter of course. In gratitude for your good fortune, you must remember in return some sacrifice of your own life for another life.

The great secret of success is to go through life as a person who never gets used up. That is possible for those who never argue and strive with people and facts, but in all experience retires upon themselves, and look for the ultimate cause of things in themselves.

It is only through love that we can attain to communion with God. All living knowledge of God rests upon this foundation: that we experience him in our lives as Will-to-love.

An idea is, in the end, always stronger than circumstances.
