“We shall know what things are of overmastering importance when they have overmastered us.”

“What comes to mind when we think about God is the most important thing about us.”

“Science is meaningless because it gives no answer to our question, the only question important for us: 'what shall we do and how shall we live”

“The important thing is how we know, not what or how much.”

“We do not know what death is. If we know so little about life which we have experienced, how shall be know about death which we have not — and in the nature of things never can?”

“It is not the things that we have, but how we use them that is important.”

“How different our lives are when we really know what is deeply important to us, and keeping that picture in mind, we manage ourselves each day to be and to do what really matters most.”

“And surely to know what this good is, is of great importance for the conduct of life, for in that case we shall be like archers shooting at a definite mark, and shall be more likely to do what is right. But, if this is the case, we must try to comprehend, in outline at least, what it is and to which of the sciences it belongs.”

“When things fall apart and we’re on the verge of we know not what, the test of each of us is to stay on that brink and not concretize.”

“The only thing of importance, when we depart, will be the traces of love we have left behind.”
