Today I feel that I shall win through. I have come to the gateway of the simple; I am now content to see things as they are. I have gained freedom myself; I shall allow freedom to others. In my work will be my salvation.

Oh my only friend, my best beloved, the gates are open in my house—do not pass by like a dream.

Life is perpetually creative because it contains in itself that surplus which ever overflows the boundaries of the immediate time and space, restlessly pursuing its adventure of expression in the varied forms of self-realization.

Ah, thou hast made my heart captive in the endless meshes of thy music, my master!

I am able to love my God because He gives me freedom to deny Him.

The same stream of life that runs through the world runs through my veins night and day.

Patriotism cannot be our final spiritual shelter; my refuge is humanity. I will not buy glass for the price of diamonds, and I will never allow patriotism to triumph over humanity as long as I live.
