We cannot all be great, but we can always attach ourselves to something that is great.

Hating people is like burning down your own house to get rid of a rat.

All altruism springs from putting yourself in the other person's place.

We ask the leaf, "Are you complete in yourself?" And the leaf answers, "No, my life is in the branches." We ask the branch, and the branch answers, "No my life is in the root." We ask the root, and it answers, "No my life is in the trunk and the branches and the leaves. Keep the branches stripped of leaves, and I shall die," So it is with the great tree of being. Nothing is completely and merely individual.

I would rather live in a world where my life is surrounded by mystery than live in a world so small that my mind could comprehend it.

We cannot all be great, but we can always attach ourselves to something that is great.

All intelligent faith in God has behind it a background of humble agnosticism.
