One must love life before loving its meaning ... yes, and when the love of life disappears, no meaning can console us.

God knows what lives in me in place of me.

Pray to God for gladness. Be glad as children, as the birds of heaven. And let not the sin of men confound you in your doings. Fear not that it will wear away your work and hinder its being accomplished. Do not say, 'Sin is mighty, wickedness is mighty, evil environment is mighty, and we are lonely and helpless, and evil environment is wearing us away and hindering our good work from being done.' Fly from that dejection, children!

The greatest happiness is to know the source of unhappiness.

For if there's no everlasting God, there's no such thing as virtue, and there's no need of it.

There is not a thing that is more positive than bread.

Perhaps a normal man is supposed to be stupid-how do we know? Perhaps it's even very beautiful.
