“The significance of life is living.”

“Living in the present is the instant perception of beauty and the great delight in it without seeking pleasure from it.”

“But if you have no relationship with the living things on this earth, you may lose whatever relationship you have with humanity.”

“To understand life is to understand ourselves, and that is both the beginning and the end of education.”

“You must understand the whole of life, not just one little part of it. That is why you must read, that is why you must look at the skies, that is why you must sing, and dance, and write poems, and suffer, and understand, for all that is life.”

“From innumerable complexities we must grow to simplicity; we must become simple in our inward life and in our outward needs.”

“There is no end to education. It is not that you read a book, pass an examination, and finish with education. The whole of life, from the moment you are born to the moment you die, is a process of learning.”
