I call myself a Peaceful Warrior... because the battles we fight are on the inside.

Unless you have found God in your own soul, the whole world will seem meaningless to you.

War has always been the grand sagacity of every spirit which has grown too inward and too profound; its curative power lies even in the wounds one receives.

We are unknown to ourselves, we men of knowledge-and with good reason. We have never sought ourselves-how could it happen that we should ever find ourselves? It has rightly been said: Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

The individual has always to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe.

But it is the same with man as with the tree. The more he seeketh to rise into the height and light, the more vigorously do his roots struggle earthward, downward, into the dark and deep - into the evil.
