There can never be deep peace between two spirits, never mutual respect until, in their dialogue, each stands for the whole world.

Peace cannot be achieved through violence, it can only be attained through understanding.

Without a rich heart, wealth is an ugly beggar.

Is not marriage an open question, when it is alleged, from the beginning of the world, that such as are in the institution wish to get out, and such as are out wish to get in?

The real and lasting victories are those of peace and not of war.

He who is in love is wise and is becoming wiser, sees newly every time he looks at the object beloved, drawing from it with his eyes and his mind those virtues which it possesses.

Truth is handsomer than the affectation of love.

I must be myself. I cannot break myself any longer for you, or you. If you can love me for what I am, we shall be the happier. If you cannot, I will still seek to deserve that you should.

If you are true, but not in the same truth with me, cleave to your companions; I will seek my own. I do this not selfishly, but humbly and truly. It is alike your interest, and mine, and all men’s, however long we have dwelt in lies, to live in truth.

There can be no excess to love; none to knowledge; none to beauty, when these attributes are considered in the purest sense. 

The love that you withhold is the pain that you carry.

All mankind love a lover.

This is my wish for you: Comfort on difficult days, smiles when sadness intrudes, rainbows to follow the clouds, laughter to kiss your lips, sunsets to warm your heart, hugs when spirits sag, beauty for your eyes to see, friendships to brighten your being, faith so that you can believe, confidence for when you doubt, courage to know yourself, patience to accept the truth, love to complete your life.

Don’t choose the better person, choose the person who makes a better you.

Bad times have a scientific value. These are occasions a good learner would not miss. 

Do not waste yourself in rejection, nor bark against the bad, but chant the beauty of the good.

Nothing external to you has any power over you.

What you are comes to you.

Shallow men believe in luck. Strong men believe in cause and effect.
