By having a reverence for life, we enter into a spiritual relation with the world By practicing reverence for life we become good, deep, and alive.
Compassion, in which all ethics must take root, can only attain its full breadth and depth if it embraces all living creatures and does not limit itself to mankind.
Ethics is nothing else than reverence for life.
I can do no other than be reverent before everything that is called life. I can do no other than to have compassion for all that is called life. That is the beginning and the foundation of all ethics.
The first step in the evolution of ethics is a sense of solidarity with other human beings.
I don't know what your destiny will be, but one thing I know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who will have sought and found how to serve.
I have always held firmly to the thought that each one of us can do a little to bring some portion of misery to an end.
Let me give you a definition of ethics: It is good to maintain and further life it is bad to damage and destroy life.
