Every man worthy of being called a son of man bears his cross and mounts his Golgotha. Many, indeed most, reach the first or second step, collapse pantingly in the middle of the journey, and do not attain the summit of Golgotha, in other words the summit of their duty: to be crucified, resurrected, and to save theirs souls. Afraid of crucifixion, they grow fainthearted; they do not know that the cross is the only path to resurrection. There is no other path.

إِنَّ الإِنسانَ يَستَطيعُ أَنْ يُعبِّرَ عَن نصف أَفكاره فقط ، لأنه لا يعمل إلا نصف عمله فقط .
إن العالم موجود في هذه الحالة اليائسة ، لأن الإنسان نصف فاضل ، نصف شرير . اذهب حتى النهاية ، ارمِ بعيداً ولا تخف ، عنئذ تنتصر

Whoever climbed the Lord's mountain had to possess clean hands and an innocent heart; otherwise the Summit would kill him. Today the doorway is deserted. Soiled hands and sinful hearts are able to pass by without fear, for the Summit kills no longer.
