Love is not about staring at each other, but staring off in the same direction.

To be a man is to feel that one's own stone contributes to building the edifice of the world.

Love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward together in the same direction.

The field of consciousness is tiny. It accepts only one problem at a time.

The meaning of things lies not in the things themselves but in our attitude towards them.

A chief is a man who assumes responsibility. He does not say "My men were beaten " he says "I was beaten."

Defeat is a thing of weariness of incoherence of boredom.

There is no hope or joy except in human relations.

Man is a knot a web a mesh into which relationships are tied. Only those relationships matter.

A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it bearing within him the image of a cathedral.

A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it bearing within him the image of a cathedral.

Pure logic is the ruin of the spirit.

It is only with the heart that one can see rightly what is essential is invisible to the eye.

A chief is a man who assumes responsibility. He says 'I was beaten' he does not say 'My men were beaten.'

A single event can awaken within us a stranger totally unknown to us. To live is to be slowly born.

It is in the compelling zest of high adventure and of victory and in creative action that man finds his supreme joy.

Love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking together in the same direction.

It is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose so important.

What saves a man is to take a step. Then another step. It is always the same step but you have to take it.

War is not an adventure. It is a disease. It is like typhus.

The field of consciousness is tiny. It accepts only one problem at a time. Get into a fist fight put your mind on the strategy of the fight and you will not feel the other fellow's punches.

Freedom and constraint are two aspects of the same necessity the necessity of being the man you are and not another. You are free to be that man but not free to be another.

A single event can awaken within us a stranger totally unknown to us.

To be a man is precisely to be responsible.

A chief is a man who assumes responsibility. He does not say "My men were beaten " he says "I was beaten."

Night when words fade and things come alive when the destructive analysis of day is done and all that is truly important becomes whole and sound again. When man reassembles his fragmentary self and grows with the calm of a tree.

What saves a man is to take a step. Then another step.

True love begins when nothing is looked for in return.
