A chief is a man who assumes responsibility. He says 'I was beaten,' he does not say 'My men were beaten.'

Each man must look to himself to teach him the meaning of life. It is not something discovered: it is something molded.

Cries of despair, misery, sobbing grief are a kind of wealth.

True love is inexhaustible; the more you give, the more you have.

Sometimes we behave as though there was something more important than life. But what?

Love does not cause suffering: what causes it is the sense of ownership, which is love's opposite.

No single event can awaken within us a stranger totally unknown to us. To live is to be slowly born. It would be a bit too easy if we could go about borrowing ready-made souls.
