Self-understanding rather than self-condemnation is the way to inner peace and mature conscience.

We achieve inner health only through forgiveness - the forgiveness not only of others but also of ourselves.

There is too much undissolved wrath and punishment in most religions.

Treasure each other in the recognition that we do not know how long we shall have each other.

We are the carriers of health and disease - either the divine health of courage and nobility or the demonic diseases of hate and anxiety

Excessive competitiveness, anxiety, hostility, suspiciousness, all originate in the nursery years. That is why, if we want a world of peace and not violence, love and not hate, cooperation and not murder, justice and not selfishness, we have to learn how to make childhood more happy. No nobler task could be pursued by our generation.

The melody that the loved one played upon the piano of your life will never be played quite that way again, but we must not close the keyboard and allow the instrument to gather dust. We must seek out other artists of the spirit, new friends who gradually will help us to find the road to life again, who will walk the road with us.
