“Young people -it is obvious -cannot achieve such a relationship, but they can, if they understand their life properly, grow up slowly to such happiness and prepare themselves for it. They must not forget, when they love, that they are beginners, bunglers of life, apprentices in love- must learn love, and that like all learning wants peace, patience, and composure.”

“We want this people to be faithful, and you must learn fidelity. We want this people to be obedient, and you must practice obedience. We want this people to be peace-loving but also courageous, and you must therefore be peace-loving and at the same time courageous. We do not want this people to grow soft, but we want it to be hard so that it will be able to withstand the hardships of life. And for this you have to harden yourselves in your youth. You must learn to be hard, to stand privations without breaking down. We want this people to love honor and you already in the days of your youth must live up to this concept of honor.”

“The love of libraries, like most loves, must be learned.”

“The love of one's country is a splendid thing. But why should love stop at the border? There is a brotherhood among all men. This must be recognized if life is to remain. We must learn the love of man.”

“Those who love peace must learn to organize as effectively as those who love war.”

“Life is short, be grateful, be kind, be happy. Forgive and forget ... Love and peace.”

“You must learn to love only that which cannot be stolen.”

“Love must be learned and learned again; There is no end.”

“To live fully, we must learn to use things and love people, and not love things and use people.”

“True love grows in a mutually happy relationship and not the fulfillment of one party's happiness alone. Love that does not work like that is not real love.”
