Showing: 11 - 20 Involvement Quotes of 24
The joy of life is to put out one's power in some natural and useful or harmless way. There is no other. And the real misery is not to do this.

The moment one is on the side of life "peace and security" drop out of consciousness. The only peace, the only security, is in fulfillment.

Love, children, and work are the great sources of fertilizing contact between the individual and the rest of the world.
Violence Quote

Age Quote
Do not grow old, no matter how long you live. Never cease to stand like curious children before the Great Mystery into which we are born.
Life Quote
I always like to look on the optimistic side of life, but I am realistic enough to know that life is a complex matter.
