“The more you struggle to live, the less you live. Give up the notion that you must be sure of what you are doing. Instead, surrender to what is real within you, for that alone is sure....you are above everything distressing.”

“The highest activity a human being can attain is learning for understanding, because to understand is to be free.”

“I have made a ceaseless effort not to ridicule, not to bewail, not to scorn human actions, but to understand them.”

“The endeavor to understand is the first and only basis of virtue.”

“There can be no hope without fear, and no fear without hope.”
