“On the Earth, you admire the Moon; on the Moon, you admire the Earth!”

“The wisdom of the Moon is greater than the wisdom of the Earth, because the Moon sees the universe closer than the Earth can see it!”

“Will you just stand on the foot of a high mountain and look at it with admiration or climb the top and be the admired itself? Remember that anybody can be an admirer; but the difficult thing is to be the admired one!”

“We admire the castles, because we admire the security!”

“Do not admire the warriors; do not admire the fighters; condemn the fist! Get rid of this low culture of wildness! Admire the nonviolent; applaud the peaceful; despise the brute force!”

“If you haven’t admired anybody in your whole life, you are the best candidate to be the world’s greatest megalomaniac!”

“If a man is not aware of the existence of the moon, what can the moon do for him except continue sending its lights upon him?”
