Quote by Udayakumar D.S.

“I was akin to Francis Bacon’s ‘Merchant of Light’ collecting experiences in the few days I spent with wonderful people and my dearest. Imbibing everything the mystically beautiful place revealed. I did it every year instead of every twelve years, as professed by Bacon. I brought with me the optimism, energy, compassion, humility, love and aroma of the wood and leaves. Best experiences of my life.”

“Now we cannot...discover our failure to keep God's law except by trying our very hardest (and then failing). Unless we really try, whatever we say there will always be at the back of our minds the idea that if we try harder next time we shall succeed in being completely good. Thus, in one sense, the road back to God is a road of moral effort, of trying harder and harder. But in another sense it is not trying that is ever going to bring us home. All this trying leads up to the vital moment at which you turn to God and say, "You must do this. I can't.”

“La speranza senza la fede non definisce i credenti, ma gli ottimisti. L'ottimismo, inteso come l'aspettarsi il successo delle proprie imprese, è un sentimento per cui ho sempre provato rispetto, perché migliora la qualità percepita dell'esistenza, almeno finché non interviene la statistica a smentirlo; ma la speranza vissuta nella fede non è la semplice fiducia nel fatto che le cose che facciamo andranno a buon fine. È piuttosto la certezza che fare determinate cose abbia un senso a prescindere dal modo in cui andranno a finire. Dall'altra parte, la fede senza speranza è di certo meno ingenua del puro ottimismo, ma ha la faccia rinsecchita del tradizionalismo, si presenta cioè come una gravosa manutenzione di abitudini durate a lungo.”

“Everyone tends to evaluate others starting from themselves. This is a disadvantage for people with a negative attitude, because they constantly underestimate and condemn others, and it is a disadvantage for those with a positive attitude, because they constantly overestimate and justify others. On the other hand, the latter experience better the intervals between the effects of one bad evaluation and another.”
