01c. 1893 AD

A healthy social life is found only when, in the mirror of each soul, the whole community finds its reflection, and when, in the whole community, the virtue of each one is living.

Rudolf Steiner / quote

02c. 1893 AD

Man only becomes independent of this physical world when he learns to consider the objects around him as symbols. He must, for this reason, seek to acquire a moral relationship to them.

Rudolf Steiner / quote

03c. 1893 AD

You can get an idea of human nature only when you can see the relationship of the individual human being to the whole cosmos.

Rudolf Steiner / quote

04c. 1893 AD

Most actions derive not from your own initiative but from your family circumstances, your education, your calling, and so on. You must therefore give up a little time to performing actions which derive from yourself alone. They need not be important; quite insignificant actions fulfill the same purpose.

Rudolf Steiner / quote
