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

Success is total self-acceptance.

Even when it is not fully attained, we become better by striving for a higher goal.

Life asks of every individual a contribution, and it is up to that individual to discover what it should be.

For the world is in a bad state, but everything will become still worse unless each of us does his best.

No man should judge unless he asks himself in absolute honesty whether in a similar situation he might not have done the same.

Decisions, not conditions, determine what a man is.

The more one forgets one’s own self, the more human the person becomes.

When a man cannot find meaning, he numbs himself with pleasure.

What is to give light must endure burning.

The one thing you can’t take away from me is the way I choose to respond to what you do to me.

Man’s main concern is not to gain pleasure or to avoid pain but rather to see a meaning in his life.

When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.

Even when it is not fully attained, we become better by striving for a higher goal.

Happiness cannot be pursued; it must ensue.

You don’t create your mission in life – you detect it.

The point is not what we expect from life, but rather what life expects from us.

The end of the year! I draw the balance. Inquiry of conscience and request to the Spirit for progress and maturity.

A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.

Consciousness: That annoying time between naps.

To say that we have a clear conscience is to utter a solecism; had we never sinned we should have had no conscience. Were defeat unknown, neither would victory be celebrated by songs of triumph.

The body is just a water bubble. The mind is like a mad monkey. Do not follow either the body or the mind. Follow the Conscience. It is above the mind. It is permanent. It is the voice of God, the voice of unchanging truth inside you.

The desire to please those we admire and respect often cripples conscience.

Conscience is a Jewish invention.

A man’s conscience and his judgment are the same thing, and, as the judgment, so also the conscience may be erroneous”
