The sole meaning of life is to serve humanity.

All happy families resemble one another, each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.

Beware of everything which puts an obstacle between you and God.

Art is not a handicraft, it is the transmission of feeling the artist has experienced.

Better to know a few things which are good and necessary than many things which are useless and mediocre.

Love is God, and to die means that I, a particle of love, shall return to the general and eternal source.

A holy spirit lives within you.

He never chooses an opinion; he just wears whatever happens to be in style.

All art has this characteristic it unites people.

All happy families resemble one another, but each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.

And all people live, not by reason of any care they have for themselves, but by the love for them that is in other people.

And there is no greatness where there is not simplicity, goodness and truth.
