I believe that we should die with decency so that at least decency will survive.

God does not die on the day when we cease to believe in a personal deity, but we die on the day when our lives cease to be illumined by the steady radiance, renewed daily, of a wonder, the source of which is beyond all reason.

Pray that your loneliness may spur you into finding something to live for, great enough to die for.

''To forgive oneself? No, that doesn't work: we have to be forgiven. But we can only believe this is possible if we ourselves can forgive.

The more we do, the more we can do; the more busy we are, the more leisure we have.

Never look down to test the ground before taking your next step; only he who keeps his eye fixed on the far horizon will find the right road.
