If you were to destroy the belief in immortality in mankind, not only love but every living force on which the continuation of all life in the world depended, would dry up at once.

And yet how simple it is: in one day, in one hour everything could be arranged at once! The chief thing is to love others like yourself, that’s the chief thing, and that’s everything; nothing else is wanted — you will find out at once how to arrange it all.

Power is given only to those who dare to lower themselves and pick it up. Only one thing matters, one thing; to be able to dare!

To love someone means to see him as God intended him.

Man only likes to count his troubles, but he does not count his joys.

The whole work of man really seems to consist in nothing but proving to himself every minute that he is a man and not a piano key.
