“Only when we have become nonviolent towards all life will we have learned to live well with others.”

“If we have only one life to live, we might as well not have lived at all.”

“We have two lives... the life we learn with and the life we live after that. Suffering is what brings us towards happiness.”

“Einmal ist keinmal, says Tomas to himself. What happens but once, says the German adage, might as well not have happened at all. If we have only one life to live, we might as well not have lived at all.”

“The past is to be learned from but not lived in. We look back to claim the embers from glowing experiences but not the ashes. And when we have learned what we need to learn and have brought with us the best that we have experienced, then we look ahead; we remember that faith is always pointed toward the future.”

“We have two lives; the life we learn with and the life we live after that.”
