Where there's hope, there's life. It fills us with fresh courage and makes us strong again.
I don't think of all the misery, but of the beauty that still remains....My advice is: Go outside, to the fields, enjoy nature and the sunshine, go out and try to recapture happiness in yourself and in God. Think of all the beauty that's still left in and around you and be happy!
Despite everything, I believe that people are really good at heart.
I think a lot, but I don't say much.
If we bear all this suffering and if there are still Jews left, when it is over, then Jews, instead of being doomed, will be held up as an example.
Laziness may appear attractive, but work gives satisfaction.
Our lives are fashioned by our choices. First we make our choices. Then our choices make us.
You can be lonely even when you are loved by many people, since you are still not anybody's one and only.
Give and you shall receive, much more that you ever thought possible. Give and give again. People who give will never be poor!
In spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart. I simply can’t build up my hopes on a foundation consisting of confusion, misery, and death. I see the world gradually being turned into a wilderness, I hear the ever approaching thunder, which will destroy us too, I can feel the sufferings of millions and yet, if I look up into the heavens, I think that it will all come right, that this cruelty too will end, and that peace and tranquility will return again.
You can always give something, even if it is only kindness.
When I write I can shake off all my cares. My sorrow disappears, my spirits are revived.
Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy.
Human greatness does not lie in wealth or power, but in character and goodness.
