Nothing can enlighten people’s lives and ease their burdens more than the understanding that they should serve God.

Religious disbelief and neglect is a great evil, but prejudice and lies are even worse.

— Plutarchus

Life is short. Do not forget about the most important things in our life, living for other people and doing good for them.

— Marcus Aurelius

The Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life as a ransom for many.

— Matthew 20:28

Pay goodness for evil. We should be like trees that give fruits to those who throw stones at them.

You should accept yourself, not as a master, but as a servant, and then all your bad feelings, your anxiety, alarm, uncertainty, and dissatisfaction will be changed into calmness and peace. You will be filled inside with a clear vision of your purpose, and with a great joy.
