“God is the partner of your most intimate soliloquies.”

The attempt to develop a sense of humor and to see things in a humorous light is some kind of a trick learned while mastering the art of living.

There was no need to be ashamed of tears, for tears bore witness that a man had the greatest of courage, the courage to suffer.

Man does not simply exist but always decides what his existence will be, what he will become the next moment. By the same token, every human being has the freedom to change at any instant.

The quest for meaning is the key to mental health and human flourishing

Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms – to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.

The salvation of man is through love and in love.

The salvation of man is through love and in love.

Man can only find meaning for his existence in something outside himself.

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.

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

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!

The theory seems to be that as long as a man is a failure he is one of God’s children, but that as soon as he succeeds he is taken over by the Devil.

Don’t expect wisdom to come into your life like great chunks of rock on a conveyor belt. Wisdom comes privately from God as a byproduct of right decisions, godly reactions, and the application of spiritual principles to daily circumstances.

There is no counsel like God’s counsel. No comfort like His comfort. No wisdom more profound than the wisdom of the Scriptures.

People who are close to God cultivate a personal intimacy with Him like a good gardener cultivates beautiful flowers.

Only God knows You’re talking to him now.

The closest encounter I had with films in my childhood was sitting on the lap of my father at a shooting set, and he would say ‘rain,’ and it started raining, and then he would say ‘song,’ and people started dancing. I thought I was sitting on God’s lap.

When people call me God, I say, no, I’m still an angel or saint of acting. I still have a long way to go.

Walk by faith! Stop the plague of worry. Relax! Learn to say, “Lord, this is Your battle.”
