“Your idol is shattered in the dust to prove that God's dust is greater than your idol.”

“Life is given to us, we earn it by giving it.”

“We come nearest to the great when we are great in humility.”

“Never be afraid of the moments—thus sings the voice of the everlasting.”

“When old words die out on the tongue, new melodies break forth from the heart; and where the old tracks are lost, new country is revealed with its wonders.”

“In this playhouse of infinite forms I have had my play, and here have I caught sight of him that is formless.”

“If you shed tears when you miss the sun, you also miss the stars.”

“That I exist is a perpetual surprise which is life.”

“The fish in the water is silent, the animal on the earth is noisy, the bird in the air is singing, But Man has in him the silence of the sea, the noise of the earth and the music of the air.”
