"A person can think with the heart or think with the brain. There was perhaps a time when people forgot about the work of the heart, but now is the era of the heart, and we must focus our efforts in that direction. Thus, without freeing the brain of its work, we are ready to recognize the heart as a motive power. People have thought up a thousand ways to place limitations on the heart. The works of the heart are understood in a narrow sense, and not even always in a pure sense. We must bring the entire world into the sphere of the heart, because the heart is the microcosm of everything that exists. A person who is not inspired by the great concept of the heart will end up belittling his own significance. We tell people to give up getting irritated, but only greatness of heart will save a person from the poison of irritability. We speak about the ability to embrace, but where is there an all-embracing ocean outside of the heart? We remind people about the distant worlds, but it is the heart, not the brain, that can remember about Infinity. So let us not belittle the organ that has been bestowed upon us to be a receptacle of Grace."

"Hearts Weak God is witness that we tried repeatedly to plant love and friendship in their hearts then we discovered that their soil is salty and not suitable for agriculture We tried to water that soil with patience to nourish it with hope to give it the purity it needs to grow true feelings but we tried in vain There are souls that have brought back drought hearts that have been closed by the echo that does not respond to goodness No matter how much you lavish on her we understand in the end that giving must have its place and that love is only planted in hearts that appreciate its value As for those who live in a barren land who only learn to take without giving they do not deserve your time or effort Do not waste your time or effort on those who do not want to change Plant in fertile soil in hearts that bear fruit because you deserve to see the fruits of your giving forget and flourish.~~ May 4, 2025"

"The reason I acquired Twitter is because it is important to the future of civilization to have a common digital town square where a wide range of beliefs can be debated in a healthy manner, without resorting to violence. There is currently great danger that social media will splinter into far right-wing and far left wing echo chambers that generate more hate and divide our society... That is why I bought Twitter. I didn’t do it because it would be easy. I didn’t do it to make more money. I did it to try to help humanity, whom I love... That said, Twitter obviously cannot become a free-for-all hellscape where anything can be said with no consequences!""

"There is a certain experience we must be careful to avoid. ... We must not become misologues, as people become misanthropes. There is no greater evil one can suffer than to hate reasonable discourse. Misology and misanthropy arise in the same way. Misanthropy comes when a man without knowledge or skill has placed great trust in someone and believes him to be altogether truthful, sound and trustworthy; then, a short time afterwards he finds him to be wicked and unreliable, and then this happens in another case; when one has frequently had that experience, especially with those whom one believed to be one's closest friends, then, in the end, after many blows, one comes to hate all men and to believe that no one is sound in any way at all. ... This is a shameful state of affairs ... and obviously due to an attempt to have human relations without any skill in human affairs."
