Whatever you have received more than others-in health, in talents, in ability, in success, in a pleasant childhood, in harmonious conditions of home life-all this you must not take to yourself as a matter of course. In gratitude for your good fortune, you must remember in return some sacrifice of your own life for another life.

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

An optimist is a person who sees a green light everywhere, while a pessimist sees only the red stoplight... the truly wise person is colorblind.

The only way out of today's misery is for people to become worthy of each other's trust.

In resigning ourselves to our fate without a struggle, we are guilty of inhumanity.

By respect for life we become religious in a way that is elementary, profound and alive.

We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.
