Our work for peace must begin within the private world of each one of us.

Your cravings as a human animal do not become a prayer just because it is God whom you ask to attend to them.

On the bookshelf of life, God is a useful work of reference, always at hand but seldom consulted.

Do not seek death. Death will find you. But seek the road which makes death a fulfillment.

We cannot afford to forget any experience, not even the most painful.

Be grateful as your deeds become less and less associated with your name, as your feet ever more lightly tread the earth.

To reach perfection, we must all pass, one by one, through the death of self-effacement.
