“Where there is no hope, it is incumbent on us to invent it.”

“Whatever you eye falls on - for it will fall on what you love - will lead you to the questions of your life, the questions that are incumbent upon you to answer, because that is how the mind works in concert with the eye. The things of this world draw us where we need to go.”

“Today evolution of human intelligence has advanced us to the stage where most of us are too smart to invent new gods but are reluctant to give up the old ones.”

“ One must see in every human being only that which is worthyof praise. When this is done, one can be a friend to the whole humanrace. If, however, we look at people from the standpoint of theirfaults, then being a friend to them is a formidable task.................Thus is it incumbent upon us, when we direct our gaze towardother people, to see where they excel, not where they fail.”

“Some people get where they hope to in this world. Most of us don't.”

“Where there's hope, there's life. It fills us with fresh courage and makes us strong again.”
