When I meet a man, I am not concerned about his opinions. I am concerned about the man.

The world is not divine sport, it is divine destiny. There is a divine meaning of the world, of man, of human persons, of you and me.

If we had the power over the ends of the earth, it would not give us that fulfillment of existence which a quiet devoted relationship to nearby life can give us.

Feelings dwell in man; but man dwells in his love. That is no metaphor, but the actual truth. Love does not cling to the I in such a way as to have the Thou only for its " content," its object; but love is between I and Thou. The man who does not know this, with his very being know this, does not know love; even though he ascribes to it the feelings he lives through, experiences, enjoys, and expresses.

And if there were a devil it would not be one who decided against God, but one who, in eternity, came to no decision.

You should carefully observe the way toward which your heart draws you, then choose this way with all your strength.

Freedom and destiny are solemnly promised to one another and linked together in meaning.
