“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!”

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

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

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

“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!”

“Those that despise peace and admire war are crushed under the boots of the war!”

“If you despise the mountains you have climbed, you are not welcomed by the mountains you have not yet climbed!”
