What is not started today is never finished tomorrow.

We can most safely achieve truly universal tolerance when we respect that which is characteristic in the individual and in nations, clinging, though, to the conviction that the truly meritorious is unique by belonging to all of mankind.

We accept every person in the world as that for which he gives himself out, only he must give himself out for something. We can put up with the unpleasant more easily than we can endure the insignificant.

To be loved for what one is, that is the greatest exception. The great majority love in others only what they lend him; their own selves, their version of him.

Nothing is worth more than this day. You cannot relive yesterday. Tomorrow is still beyond your reach.

Doesn't surprise me that Christ our Lord preferred to live with whores and sinners, seeing I go in for that myself.

Nature goes her own way, and all that to us seems an exception is really according to order.
