If you do not fling old ideas out of your mind, you cannot give birth to new ones.

A person who asks love of others, but does not himself give it, cannot be loved. Always be the first to give love and it shall be given to you. As long as you do not give your heart first, you will be far from love.

Death can be understood as the passage from one form to another, from a limited degree of life to another higher, freer one. It is wrong to assume that everything ends with death; what ends is only the temporary conditions in which people have lived on earth.

Being happy is a great science. If you are not happy, do not be confused. Happiness is hard to achieve.

Love resolves all contradictions. Without love, man cannot make sense of his existence.

If you wish to befriend someone, look for a person who loves first God then themselves. If they love God, they will be able to love their neighbor, too.

Stop in somebody's shadow to rest and cool down, and you are lost. No one can make anyone else happy.
