To be a socialist means to let the ego serve the neighbour, to sacrifice the self for the whole. In its deepest sense socialism equals service. The individual refrains and the commonwealth demands.

The end of the year! I draw the balance. Inquiry of conscience and request to the Spirit for progress and maturity.

I'm so despondent about everything. Everything I try goes totally wrong. There's no escape from this hole here. I feel drained. So far, I still haven't found a real purpose in life. Sometimes, I'm afraid to get out of bed in the morning. There's nothing to get up for.

In the newspapers there is insulting and stirring up hatred. Those irresponsible daubers!

Man only honors what he conquers or defends.

To attract people, to win over people to that which I have realized as being true, that is called propaganda.

There is no need for propaganda to be rich in intellectual content.
