The nobility of the soul makes itself known by admitting its egoism without consciousness, without remorse, without self-deception.

At the risk of displeasing innocent ears I submit that egoism belongs to the essence of a noble soul.

A nation's culture resides in the hearts and in the soul of its people.

He who finds his ego shall lose his ego, but he who loseth his ego for my sake, shall find it. And so you see people who are apparently selfish; it isn't merely an ethical issue but it is a psychological issue.

The ocean has always been a salve to my soul.

The meaning of this is, that whomsoever we love, in him we find our own soul in the highest sense. The final truth of our existence lies in this. God, the Supreme Soul, is in me, as well as in my son, and my joy in my son is the realisation of this truth.
