"The best and worst thing is self-love, selfishness. The only question is who is it that I love more than anything? If it is the carnal self, it is bad, if it is the spiritual self, it is the best thing that can be. And this spiritual selfishness of the "I" I felt today for the first time in my life and I felt its benefit. It started with an unpleasant feeling caused by the poor souls. "Isn't that your task, your material, to love the unloving, the repulsive?" And immediately all trouble and heaviness disappeared. And thanks to this solution I have used it a few times today in communicating with people and every time with success. And very, very good. If only I could keep it that way.

"You should always be truthful, especially with a child. You should always do what you have promised him, otherwise you will teach him to lie."
"Do not say to a child whom you teach that there is a final truth, if you do not believe in something completely, or if you have some doubts. To do such a thing is a great crime."
On This Day
Life is awkward, difficult and often creates such Gordian knots that human strength cannot untie them.
Without limiting the scope of activity, nothing remarkable can be done in any field. It is the absolute duty of a legislator not to make into a crime what is in the nature of a misdemeanor, and even then only according to the circumstances. He must humanely correct all this as a social problem, because it would be an extreme injustice to sanction these crimes as anti-social crimes.
The egoist: ...the one who doesn't think about me.
If you're going to screw things up, at least be successful.
