don’t believe the war is simply the work of politicians and capitalists. Oh no, the common man is every bit as guilty; otherwise, people and nations would have re- belled long ago! There’s a destructive urge in people, the urge to rage, murder and kill. And until all of humanity, without exception, undergoes a metamorphosis, wars will continue to be waged, and everything that has been carefully built up, cultivated and grown will be cut down and destroyed, only to start allover again!

Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right paths, but the final forming of a person's character lies in their own hands.

A quiet conscience makes one strong!

Riches, power and fame last only for a few years! Why do people cling so desperately to these transitory things? Why can't people who have more than they need for themselves give that surplus to their fellow citizens? Why should some people have such a hard time during their few years on this earth?

We all live with the objective of being happy; our lives are all different and yet the same.

You can get around to meaningful conversations more quickly in the dark than with the sun tickling your face.

Whoever doesn't know it must learn and find by experience that a quiet conscience makes one strong.
