“There is no standard by which time can be measured, but the succession of our thoughts, and the changes that take place in the external world.”

“The figure of the crucified invalidates all thought which takes success for its standard.”

“To fulfil the dreams of one's youth; that is the best that can happen to a man. No worldly success can take the place of that.”

“I believe that anyone can be successful in life, regardless of natural talent or the environment within which we live. This is not based on measuring success by human competitiveness for wealth, possessions, influence, and fame, but adhering to God's standards of truth, justice, humility, service, compassion, forgiveness, and love.”

“Nothing makes time pass or shortens the way like a thought that absorbs in itself all the faculties of the one who is thinking. External existence is then like a sleep of which this thought is the dream. Under its influence, time has no more measure, space has no more distance.”

“Every man must have a philosophy of life, for everyone must have a standard by which to measure his conduct. And philosophy is nothing but a standard by which to measure.”
