“In some ways suffering ceases to be suffering at the moment it finds a meaning, such as the meaning of a sacrifice.”

Ever more people today have the means to live, but no meaning to live for.

Nothing is likely to help a person overcome or endure troubles than the consciousness of having a task in life.

Each of us carries a unique spark of the divine, and each of us is also an inseparable part of the web of life.

Love goes very far beyond the physical person of the beloved. It finds its deepest meaning in his spiritual being, his inner self. Whether or not he is actually present, whether or not he is still alive at all, ceases somehow to be of importance.

A human being is not one thing among others; things determine each other, but man is ultimately self-determining.

An abnormal reaction to an abnormal situation is normal behavior.

So live as if you were living already for the second time and as if you had acted the first time as wrongly as you are about to act now!

Forces beyond your control can take away everything you possess except one thing, your freedom to choose how you will respond to the situation.

Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.

In times of crisis, people reach for meaning. Meaning is strength. Our survival may depend on our seeking and finding it.

Man’s inner strength may raise him above his outward fate.

Life is never made unbearable by circumstances, but only by lack of meaning and purpose.

Spiritual freedom makes life meaningful and purposeful.

Live as if you were living a second time, and as though you had acted wrongly the first time.

Man’s search for meaning is the chief motivation of his life.

Despair is suffering without meaning.

I would say about individuals, A Individual dies when they cease to to be surprised. I am surprised every morning when I see the sunshine again.

War shall cease between nations, and by the will of God the Most Great Peace shall come; the world will be seen as a new world, and all men will live as brothers.

I beseech you, one and all, to add your prayers to mine to the end that war and bloodshed cease, and that love, friendship, peace and unity reign in the world.

Hell is the place where one has ceased to hope.

A photograph can be an instant of life captured for eternity that will never cease looking back at you.

Perhaps adjustment and stabilization, while good because it cuts your pain, is also bad because development towards a higher ideal ceases?

One day I will cease to exist. But all my life I will love you.

We have to either let go or suffer, because everything will eventually cease. And just because we love something, doesn’t mean it takes us with it.
