Each of us makes his own weather, determines the color of the skies in the emotional universe which he inhabits.

When we try to make everything clear, we make everything confused. If, however, we admit one mysterious thing in the universe, then everything else becomes clear in the light of that.

If you do not worship God, you worship something, and nine times out of ten it will be yourself.

If you don't behave as you believe, you will end by believing as you behave.
