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

The study of the Life of Jesus has had a curious history. It set out in quest of the historical Jesus, believing that when it had found Him it could bring Him straight into our time as a Teacher and Saviour. ... But He does not stay; He passes by our time and returns to His own... He returned to His own time, not owing to the application of any historical ingenuity, but by the same inevitable necessity by which the liberated pendulum returns to its original position.

Train yourself never to put off the word or action for the expression of gratitude.

Ethics is the activity of man directed to secure the inner perfection of his own personality.

One who gains strength by overcoming obstacles possesses the only strength which can overcome adversity.

The first step in the evolution of ethics is a sense of solidarity with other human beings.

You must not expect anything from others. It's you, of yourself, of whom you must ask a lot. Only from oneself has one the right to ask everything and anything. This way it's up to you - your own choices - what you get from others remains a present, a gift.
