“One's life has value so long as one attributes value to the life of others, by means of love, friendship, indignation and compassion.”

“The life of the individual has meaning only insofar as it aids in making the life of every living thing nobler and more beautiful. Life is sacred, that is to say, it is the supreme value, to which all other values are subordinate.”

“In real life, help is given out of friendship, or it is not valued; it is received from the hand of friendship, or it is resented.”

“It's the pointless things that give your life meaning. Friendship, compassion, art, love. All of them pointless. But they're what keeps life from being meaningless.”

“We cannot diminish the value of one category of human life — the unborn — without diminishing the value of all human life.”

“A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life.”

“SUPREME VALUE CENTERS IN LOVE. All true values are differentiations of this supreme value. The means by which love is differentiated into the infinite variety of its divine nature may be called “truth.” Life is the evidence of the truth of love in action.”

“Life has no meaning a priori … It is up to you to give it a meaning, and value is nothing but the meaning that you choose.”

“Love for life — love for people, above all respect for their values and traditions, and for everything that can give deep meaning to it.”

“If we can't respect the way we earn it, money has no value. If we can't use it to make life better for our families and loved ones, money has no purpose.”
