Life would be infinitely happier if we could only be born at the age of eighty and gradually approach eighteen.
Pure love and suspicion cannot dwell together: at the door where the latter enters, the former makes its exit.
I respect the man who knows distinctly what he wishes. The greater part of all mischief in the world arises from the fact that men do not sufficiently understand their own aims. They have undertaken to build a tower, and spend no more labor on the foundation than would be necessary to erect a hut.
What is the meaning of human life, or of organic life altogether? To answer this question at all implies a religion. Is there any sense then, you ask, in putting it? I answer, the man who regards his own life and that of his fellow creatures as meaningless is not merely unfortunate but almost disqualified for life.
I tore myself away from the safe comfort of certainties through my love for truth - and truth rewarded me.
Perhaps the only misplaced curiosity is that which persists in trying to find out here, on this side of death, what lies beyond the grave.
The conception of worth, that each person is an end per se, is not a mere abstraction. Our interest in it is not merely academic. Every outcry against the oppression of some people by other people, or against what is morally hideous is the affirmation of the principle that a human being as such is not to be violated. A human being is not to be handled as a tool but is to [be] respected and revered.
The highest love of all finds its fulfillment not in what it keeps, but in what it gives.
Software: These programs give instruction to the CPU, which processes billions of tiny facts called bytes, and within a fraction of a second it sends you an error message that requires you to call the customer-support hot line and be placed on hold for approximately the life-span of a caribou.
Happiness is that state of consciousness which proceeds from the achievement of one's values.
Human beings are not condemned, because of their biological constitution, to annihilate each other or to be at the mercy of a cruel, self-inflicted fate.
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.
Prejudices, it is well known, are most difficult to eradicate from the heart whose soil has never been loosened or fertilized by education; they grow there, firm as weeds among rocks.
The Holy Spirit makes a man a Christian, and if he is a Christian through the work of the Holy Spirit, that same Spirit draws him to other Christians in the church. An individual Christian is not Christian at all.
To get back my youth I would do anything in the world, except take exercise, get up early, or be respectable.
Love is not enough. It must be the foundation, the cornerstone- but not the complete structure. It is much too pliable, too yielding.
Men are but children of a larger growth, Our appetites as apt to change as theirs, And full as craving too, and full as vain.
Love is the immortal flow of energy that nourishes, extends and preserves. It's eternal goal is life.
