“Love is, above all, the gift of oneself.”
“One puts oneself above all and crushes everything in one's way to get the best for oneself.”
“... one reads, above all, to prevent oneself thinking.”
“Above all, consider this: The greatest gift we can give ourselves, our children, and our world is to live well and love well.”
“To know oneself is, above all, to know what one lacks. It is to measure oneself against Truth, and not the other way around. The first product of self-knowledge is humility . . .”
“For it is just as sinful from the standpoint of nature and of truth to be above oneself as to be below oneself.”
