The longest journey is the journey inward.
Pray that your loneliness may spur you into finding something to live for, great enough to die for.
Your position never gives you the right to command. It only imposes on you the duty of so living your life that others can receive your orders without being humiliated.
A successful lie is doubly a lie; an error which has to be corrected is a heavier burden than the truth.
In the last analysis, it is our conception of death which decides our answers to all the questions that life puts to us.
Never for the sake of peace and quiet deny your convictions.
The longest journey of any person is the journey inward.
The only kind of dignity which is genuine is that which is not diminished by the indifference of others.
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.
You are the lens in the beam. You can only receive, give, and possess the light as the lens does. If you seek yourself, you rob the lens of its transparency. You will know life and be acknowledged by it according to your degree of transparency, your capacity, that is, to vanish as an end, and remain purely as a means.
Life only demands from you the strength that you possess. Only one feat is possible; not to run away.
What makes loneliness an anguish is not that I have no one to share my burden, but this: I have only my own burden to bear.
Life only demands from you the strength you possess. Only one feat is possible - not to have run away.
"Freedom from fear" could be said to sum up the whole philosophy of human rights.
For all that has been, thanks. For all that will be, yes.
There is a point at which everything becomes simple and there is no longer any question of choice, because all you have staked will be lost if you look back. Life's point of no return.
Do not look back. And do not dream about the future, either. It will neither give you back the past, nor satisfy your other daydreams. Your duty, your reward- your destiny-are here and now.
You have never done enough, so long as it is still possible that you have something of value to contribute.
