As soon as man does not take his existence for granted, but beholds it as something unfathomably mysterious, thought begins.

The elemental fact, present in our consciousness every moment of our existence, is: I am life that wills to live, in the midst of life that wills to live.... The essence of the humane spirit is: Preserve life, promote life, help life to achieve its highest destiny. The essence of Evil is: Destroy life, harm life, hamper the development of life

To educate yourself for the feeling of gratitude means to take nothing for granted.

Help me to fling my life like a flaming firebrand into the gathering darkness of the world.

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

The greatest living person in the world is some individual who at this very moment has gone in love to help another.

In the same way as the tree bears the same fruit year after year, but each time new fruit, all lastingly valuable ideas in thinking must always be reborn.
