Reverence for life brings us into a spiritual relation with the world which is independent of all knowledge of the universe.

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

Affirmation of life is the spiritual act by which man ceases to live unreflectively and begins to devote himself to his life with reverence in order to raise it to its true value. To affirm life is to deepen, to make more inward, and to exalt the will.

We wander through this life together in a semi-darkness in which none of us can distinguish exactly the features of his neighbour. Only from time to time, through some experience that we have of our companion, or through some remark that he passes, he stands for a moment close to us, as though illuminated by a flash of lightning. Then we see him as he really is.

Reverence for life affords me my fundamental principle of morality.

The great enemy of morality is indifference.

The gratitude that we encounter helps us believe in the goodness of the world, and strengthens us thereby to do what's good.
