“In every child who is born, under no matter what circumstances, and no matter what parents, the potentiality of the human race is born again; and in him, too, one more, and of each of us, our terrific responsibility towards human life; towards the utmost idea of goodness, of the horror of error, and of God.”

“Above all, do not lose your desire to walk. Everyday, I walk myself into a state of well-being & walk away from every illness.
