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

Thought is the strongest thing we have.

Do something for somebody everyday for which you do not get paid.

I do not know what your destiny may be, but I do know this, that not one of you will find the happiness that each of you is seeking until you have first sought and found a way in which to unselfishly serve others.

True philosophy must start from the most immediate and comprehensive fact of consciousness: "I am life that wants to live, in the midst of life that wants to live."

Ethics are complete, profound and alive only when addressed to all living beings. Only then are we in spiritual connection with the world. Any philosophy not representing this, not based on the indefinite totality of life, is bound to disappear.

The purpose of human life is to serve, and to show compassion and the will to help others.
