Children are educated by what the grown-up is and not by his talk.

We are not what happened to us, we are what we wish to become.

The totality of the psyche can never be grasped by the intellect alone.

I had always been impressed by the fact that there are surprisingly many individuals who never use their minds if they can avoid it, and yet are not stupid, and an equal number who obviously do use their minds but in an amazingly stupid way.

But, if you have nothing at all to create, then perhaps you create yourself.

I know that in many things I am not like others, but I do not know what I really am like. Man cannot compare himself with any other creature; he is not a monkey, not a cow, not a tree. I am a man. But what is it to be that? Like every other being, I am a splinter of the infinite deity, but I cannot contrast myself with any animal, any plant or any stone. Only a mythical being has a range greater than man's. How then can man form any definite opinions about himself?.

Every human life contains a potential, if that potential is not fulfilled, then that life was wasted.
