"Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth
and you get neither."
"Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather
to make man a more clever devil."
"Experience: that most brutal of teachers. But you learn, my
God do you learn."
"Has this world been so kind to you that you should leave
with regret? There are better things ahead than any we leave behind."
"Humans are amphibians - half spirit and half animal. As
spirits they belong to the eternal world, but as animals they inhabit time."
"Let's pray that the human race never escapes from Earth to spread
its iniquity elsewhere."
"Nothing that you have not given away will ever be really
yours."
"There are two kinds of people: those who say to God,
"Thy will be done," and those to whom God says, "All right,
then, have it your way.""
"You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new
dream."
"You don't have a soul. You are a Soul. You have a body."
"You can't get a cup of tea big enough or a book long enough
to suit me."
