Sincerity is the foundation of the spiritual life.

I can do no other than be reverent before everything that is called life. I can do no other than to have compassion for all that is called life. That is the beginning and the foundation of all ethics.

At that point in life where your talent meets the needs of the world, that is where God wants you to be.

It doesn't matter if an animal can reason. It matters only that it is capable of suffering and that is why I consider it my neighbor.

We are all so much together, but we are all dying of loneliness.

Nature compels us to recognize the fact of mutual dependence, each life necessarily helping the other lives who are linked to it. In the very fibers of our being, we bear within ourselves the fact of the solidarity of life.

I have always held firmly to the thought that each one of us can do a little to bring some portion of misery to an end.
