The growth and development of the soul is more important than power and glory.

Almost everything comes from almost nothing.

Our life is nothing, it is true, but our life is divine. A breath of nature annihilates us, but we surpass nature in penetrating far beyond her vast phantasmagoria to the changeless and the eternal.

Men don't achieve truth because they lack humility and love of truth. They won't criticize their own beliefs. Truth would overwhelm them.

Only evil grows of itself, while for goodness we want effort and courage.

Any landscape is a condition of the spirit.

Every life is a profession of faith.
