If you study life deeply, its profundity will seize you suddenly with dizziness.

I always think that we live, spiritually, By what others have given us in the significant hours of our life. These significant hours do not announce themselves as coming, but arrive unexpected.

It's not enough merely to exist. Every man has to seek in his own way to make his own self more noble and to relize his own true worth.

Civilization can only revive when there shall come into being in a number of individuals a new tone of mind independent of the one prevalent among the crowd and in opposition to it. A new public opinion must be created privately and unobtrusively. The existing one is maintained by the press, by propaganda, by organization, and by financial influences which are at its disposal. The unnatural way of spreading ideas must be opposed by the natural one, which goes from man to man and relies solely on the truth of the thoughts and the hearer's receptiveness of new truth.

All people are endowed with the faculty of compassion, and for this reason can develop the humanitarian spirit.

We all owe to others much of the gentleness and wisdom that we have made our own; and we may well ask ourselves what will others owe to us

Let us rejoice in the truth, wherever we find its lamp burning.
