"I
feel a bond of holy friendship with everyone on earth either
of my religion or another, rich or poor, employer or worker,
humble and needy people or high aristocracy. I have seen
a brother and my Lord in everyone of them. The most beautiful
things I have desired for me in this life and the next,
I have desired equally for all."
