 To be able to destroy with good conscience, to be able to behave badly and call your bad behavior "righteous indignation" - this is the height of psychological luxury, the most delicious of moral treats |
| To his dog, every man is Napoleon; hence the constant popularity of dogs |
| To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries. |
| Too much consistency is as bad for the mind as for the body |
| Uncontrolled, the hunger and thirst after God may become an obstacle, cutting off the soul from what it desires. If a man would travel far along the mystic road, he must learn to desire God intensely but in stillness, passively and yet with all his heart and mind and strength. |
