The contemporary form of true greatness lies in a civilization founded upon the spirituality of work.

If someone does me injury I must desire that this injury shall not degrade me. I must desire this out of love for him who inflicts it, in order that he may not really have done evil.

The need of truth is more sacred than any other need.

It is not the cause for which men took up arms that makes a victory more just or less, it is the order that is established when arms have been laid down.

If you say to someone who has ears to hear: "What you are doing to me is not just," you may touch and awaken at its source the spirit of attention and love. But it is not the same with words like, "I have the right..." or "you have no right to..." They evoke a latent war and awaken the spirit of contention.
