“Knowing life's purpose would invest everything one did with meaning.”

“How wonderful it would be if people did all they could for one other without seeking anything in return! One should never remember a kindness done, and never forget a kindness received.”

“Life has a definite purpose: to have one’s darkness of mind dispelled, and so achieve never-ending happiness.”

“Absent a sense of the preciousness of one's own life, why respect the life of anyone else?”

“Some nonreligious people are disgruntled by the word "faith," feeling that it has no connection to them. But we all have faith. Broadly speaking, "faith" does not apply only to belief in the supernatural. We have faith in our life, for example, believing we will live to see tomorrow, or in our health, believing we have years of healthy life ahead of us. Husbands and wives, parents and children have faith in one another.”

“What each of us believes in is up to us, but life is impossible without believing in something.”

“Since living is believing, no one can be completely lacking in faith.”
