Nature does not demand that we be perfect. It requires only that we grow.

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

Death is not the enemy of life, but its friend, for it is the knowledge that our years are limited which makes them so precious. It is the truth that time is but lent to us which makes us, at our best, look upon our years as a trust handed into our temporary keeping.

Nature does not demand that we be perfect. It requires only that we grow.

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

Maturity is achieved when a person accepts life as full of tension; when he does not torment himself with childish guilt feelings, but avoids tragic adult sins; when he postpones immediate pleasures for the sake of long-term values.... Our generation must be inspired to search for that maturity which will manifest itself in the qualities of tenacity, dependability, co-operativeness and the inner drive to work and sacrifice for a nobler future of mankind.

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