In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.

Truth has no special time of its own. Its hour is now - always.

Just as the wave cannot exist for itself, but is ever a part of the heaving surface of the ocean, so must I never live my life for itself, but always in the experience which is going on around me.

Happiness is nothing more than good health and a bad memory.

Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.

By respect for life we become religious in a way that is elementary, profound and alive.

One who gains strength by overcoming obstacles possesses the only strength which can overcome adversity.

One truth stands firm. All that happens in world history rests on something spiritual. If the spiritual is strong, it creates world history. If it is weak, it suffers world history.

At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.

Sometimes our light goes out but is blown into flame by another human being. Each of us owes deepest thanks to those who have rekindled this light.

Until he extends his circle of compassion to include all living things, man will not himself find peace.

Man must cease attributing his problems to his environment, and learn again to exercise his will - his personal responsibility in the realm of faith and morals.

The purpose of human life is to serve, and to show compassion and the will to help others.

Life becomes harder for us when we live for others, but it also becomes richer and happier.

There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life: music and cats.
