Let us all be brave enough to die the death of a martyr, but let no one lust for martyrdom.

It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may. We are never able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us. This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good heart whatever they might have to say.

God, as Truth, has been for me a treasure beyond price. May He be so to every one of us.

Let us all be brave enough to die the death of a martyr, but let no one lust for martyrdom.

It is the law of love that rules mankind. Had violence, i.e. hate, ruled us we should have become extinct long ago. And yet, the tragedy of it is that the so-called civilized men and nations conduct themselves as if the basis of society was violence.

When restraint and courtesy are added to strength, the latter becomes irresistible.
