I tried always to do better: saw always a little further. I tried to stretch myself.

Work as hard as you can, whatever you do, and try to spread generosity of spirit.

I decided, very early on, just to accept life unconditionally; I never expected it to do anything special for me, yet I seemed to accomplish far more than I had ever hoped. Most of the time it just happened to me without my ever seeking it.

To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow.

I have learnt how to live…how to be in the world and of the world, and not just to stand aside and watch.

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.
