Live for your soul, and without trying or even understanding that you’re doing it, you will contribute to the improvement of society.
Why do you torture yourself? You want kindness, but you do not know where to find it. Know that you cannot achieve anything without God…. God is your only Lord, your only master, and you do not need another. God will make you free. –
F. ROBERT DE LAMENNAIS
It would be nice if wisdom had such a quality that it could flow from one man who is full of wisdom to another man who has no wisdom, just as with two connected vessels water flows from one vessel to the other until the water level is the same in both of them. The problem is that to obtain wisdom, you must make an independent, serious effort of your own.
If you can teach a person kindness and love, but you do not, you lose a brother CHINESE PROVERB
Improve your own soul, and be confident that only in so doing can you contribute to the improvement of the larger society of which you are part.
