 “The Almighty has not created the
universe that we may have
opportunities to satisfy our greed,
envy and ambition.”
 “Remember that there is a meaning beyond
absurdity. Be sure that every little deed
counts, that every word has power. Never
forget that you can still do your share to
redeem the world in spite of all absurdities
and frustrations and disappointments.”
