It is better to go skiing and think of God, than go to church and think of sport.

If nations could overcome the mutual fear and distrust whose sombre shadow is now thrown over the world, and could meet with confidence and good will to settle their possible differences, they would easily be able to establish a lasting peace.

The first great thing is to find yourself and for that you need solitude and contemplation - at least sometimes. I can tell you deliverance will not come from the rushing noisy centers of civilization. It will come from the lonely places.

Never keep a line of retreat: it is a wretched invention.

I demolish my bridges behind me - then there is no choice but forward.

Never stop because you are afraid - you are never so likely to be wrong.
