In the hearts of people today there is a deep longing for peace. When the true spirit of peace is thoroughly dominant, it becomes an inner experience with unlimited possibilities. Only when this really happens - when the spirit of peace awakens and takes possession of men's hearts, can humanity be saved from perishing.

The Christ of Theology is not alive for us today. He is wrapped in the grave cloths of dogma.

Whoever is spared personal pain must feel himself called to help in diminishing the pain of others. We must all carry our share of the misery which lies upon the world.

In the past we have tried to make a distinction between animals which we acknowledge have some value and other which, having none, can be liquidated when we wish. This standard must be abandoned. Everything that lives has value simply as a living thing, as one of the manifestations of the mystery that is life.

Man can hardly even recognize the devils of his own creation.

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

Life becomes harder for us when we live for others, but it also becomes richer and happier.
