“A friend to all is a friend to none.”
―
―
“A friend is one to whom one may pour out the contents of one's heart, chaff and grain together, knowing that gentle hands will take and sift it, keep what is worth keeping, and with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away.”
―

“Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened.”
―
―
“Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to reform (or pause and reflect).”
―
―
“A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”
