Viktor E. Frankl
“What is demanded of man is not, as some existential philosophers teach, to endure the meaninglessness of life, but rather to bear his incapacity to grasp its unconditional meaningfulness in rational terms.”
Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning

Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson, Self-Reliance: An Excerpt from Collected Essays, First Series

William Wordsworth
“Be mild, and cleave to gentle things,
thy glory and thy happiness be there.”
William Wordsworth

Mother Teresa
“We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls. ”
Mother Teresa

Janusz Korczak
“I exist not to be loved and admired, but to love and act. It is not the duty of those around me to love me. Rather, it is my duty to be concerned about the world, about man.”
Janusz Korczak, The Warsaw Ghetto Memoirs of Janusz Korczak
