A secret remains a secret until you make someone promise never to reveal it.

Inner freedom demands the rejection of any imposition that injures our dignity.

Personal dignity is to be measured with the yardstick of one's conscience, not with that of other people's judgement.

When you would suffocate or ignore dissent, remember how many times you dissented.

It is certainly a good thing always to forgive with generosity, but it is no doubt just never to forget the wrongs received: they belong to the route that leads to inner maturity.

If you are living in the past or in the future, you will never find a meaning in the present.

Your will cannot always choose the path; very often the route is determined by chance or by the will of others.
