The one resolution, which was in my mind long before it took the form of a resolution, is the key-note of my life. It is this, always to regard as mere impertinences of fate the handicaps which were placed upon my life almost at the beginning. I resolved that they should not crush or dwarf my soul, but rather be made to blossom, like Aaron's rod, with flowers.

Your success and happiness lies in you. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties.

It is not possible to refer a complex difficulty to a single cause.

I look upon the whole world as my fatherland, and every war has to me the horror of a family feud.

No one has a right to consume happiness without producing it.

I believe war is the inevitable fruit of our economic system.

Strike against war, for without you no battles can be fought.
