The road of life can only reveal itself as it is traveled; each turn in the road reveals a surprise. Man's future is hidden.

30.
My friend, why have you drifted so far away? All motion is relative, maybe it is you who have moved away by standing still.

31.
The only correct actions are those that demand no explanation and no apology.
Auerbach, Red

32.
I like these words -- they seem to suggest action: If you hear a kind word spoken Of some worthy soul you know, It may fill his heart with sunshine If you'd only tell him so. If a deed, however humble, helps you On your way to go, Seek the one whose hand has helped you. Seek him out and tell him so. If your heart is touched and tender Towards sinner log and low, It might help him to do better If you could only tell him so.

33.
If you think about it seriously, all the questions about the soul and the immortality of the soul and paradise and hell are at bottom only a way of seeing this very simple fact: that every action of ours is passed on to others according to its value, of good or evil, it passes from father to son, from one generation to the next, in a perpetual movement.
