The best kind of wealth is to give up inordinate desires.

Joy is there everywhere; it is superfluous, unnecessary; nay, it very often contradicts the most peremptory behests of necessity. It exists to show that the bonds of law can only be explained by love; they are like body and soul. Joy is the realisation of the truth of oneness, the oneness of our soul with the world and of the world-soul with the supreme lover.

The fundamental desire of life is the desire to exist.

Men are cruel, but Man is kind.

The greed of gain has no time or limit to its capaciousness. Its one object is to produce and consume. It has pity neither for beautiful nature nor for living human beings. It is ruthlessly ready without a moment's hesitation to crush beauty and life.

Love's gift cannot be given, it waits to be accepted.

We cross infinity with every step; we meet eternity in every second.
