God does not die on the day when we cease to believe in a personal deity, but we die on the day when our lives cease to be illumined by the steady radiance, renewed daily, of a wonder, the source of which is beyond all reason.

The only kind of dignity which is genuine is that which is not diminished by the indifference of others.

Do not look back and do not dream about the future. It will neither give you back the past, nor satisfy your other daydreams. Your duty, your reward, your destiny, is in the present moment

Here man is no longer the center of the world, only a witness, but a witness who is also a partner in the silent life of Nature, bound by secret affinities of the trees.

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

What you must dare: is to be yourself.

Perhaps a great love is never returned.
