The longest journey is the journey inward. — Dag Hammarskjold. UN Secretary-General from 1953 to 1961
Life only demands from you the strength you possess. Only one feat is possible - not to have run away.
You are the lens in the beam. You can only receive, give, and possess the light as the lens does. If you seek yourself, you rob the lens of its transparency. You will know life and be acknowledged by it according to your degree of transparency, your capacity, that is, to vanish as an end, and remain purely as a means.
The only kind of dignity which is genuine is that which is not diminished by the indifference of others.
Never look down to test the ground before taking your next step; only he who keeps his eye fixed on the far horizon will find the right road.
