Until he extends his circle of compassion to include all living things, man will not himself find peace.



In the hope of reaching the moon men fail to see the flowers that blossom at their feet.



Man must cease attributing his problems to his environment, and learn again to exercise his will - his personal responsibility in the realm of faith and morals
