Über den Umgang mit Menschen (1788)
1950s, Conquering Self-centeredness (1957)
Context: I’ve seen people who discovered a great meaning in their jobs and they became so absorbed in that that they didn’t have time to become self-centered. They loved their job. And the great prayer that anyone could pray at that point is: “O God, help me to love my job as this individual loves his or hers. O God, help me to give my self to my work and to my job and to my allegiance as this individual does.” And this is the way out. And I think this is what [Ralph Waldo] Emerson meant when he said: “O, see how the masses of men worry themselves into nameless graves, while here and there, some great unselfish soul forgets himself into immortality.” And this becomes a point of balance when you can forget yourself into immortality. You’re not so absorbed in self, but you are absorbed in something beyond self.
“If you climb up step by step, you’ll always find yourself level with a step.”
Quien asciende peldaño a peldaño, se halla siempre a la altura de un peldaño.
Voces (1943)
“Always believe in yourself. Do this and no matter where you are, you will have nothing to fear.”
