The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.

Maybe it's good to put things in perspective. Sometimes, I think that the only perspective is to really be there.

And all the books you’ve read have been read by other people. And all the songs you’ve loved have been heard by other people. And that girl that’s pretty to you is pretty other people. And you know that if you looked at these facts when you were happy, you would feel great because you are describing “unity”. It’s like when you are excited about a girl and you see a couple holding hands, and you feel so happy for them. And other times you see the same couple, and they make you so mad. And all you want is to always feel happy for them because you know that if you do, then it means you’re happy, too.

One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers, but with gratitude to those who touched our human feeling. Curriculum is necessary raw material, but warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child.

Instead of being at the mercy of wild beasts, earthquakes, landslides, and inundations, modern man is battered by the elemental forces of his own psyche.

Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. . . . Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.

We meet ourselves time and again in a thousand disguises on the path of life.

Often the hands will solve a mystery that the intellect has struggled with in vain.

It is a fact that cannot be denied: the wickedness of others becomes our own wickedness because it kindles something evil in our own hearts.

The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living that suits all cases.
