He who seeks ecstasy in love should not complain of suffering.

We are all like the bright moon, we still have our darker side.

Your clothes conceal much of your beauty, yet they hide not the unbeautiful.

Say not, I have found the path of the soul Say rather, I have met the soul walking upon my path.

Is not the beautiful moon, that inspires poets, the same moon which angers the silence of the sea with a terrible roar?

Solitude has soft, silky hands, but with strong fingers it grasps the heart and makes it ache with sorrow.

For what is evil but good tortured by its own hunger and thirst?

Real beauty lies in the spiritual accord that is called love which can exist between a man and a woman....

For to be idle is to become a stranger unto the seasons, and to step out of life’s procession that marches in majesty and proud submission towards the infinite.

Love descends upon our souls by the will of God and not by the demand or the plea of the individual.

Tell your secret to the wind, but don't blame it for telling the trees.

Words are timeless. You should utter them or write them with a knowledge of their timelessness.

You cannot laugh and be unkind at the same time

Say not, 'I have found the truth,' but rather, 'I have found a truth.' Say not, ' I have found the path of the soul.' Say rather, 'I have met the soul walking upon my path.' For the soul walks upon all paths. The soul walks not upon a line, neither does it grow like a reed. The soul unfolds itself, like a lotus of countless petals.

We wanderers, ever seeking the lonelier way, begin no day where we have ended another, and no sunrise finds us where left by sunset. Even while the earth sleeps we travel. We are the seeds of that tenacious plant, and it is in our ripeness and our fullness of heart that we are given to the wind to be scattered.

They say: 'If a man knew himself, he would know all mankind.' I say: 'If a man loved mankind, he would know something of himself.

Your reason and your passion are your rudder and sails of your seafaring soul, if either your sails or your rudder be broken, you can but toss and drift, or else be held at a standstill in mid-seas. For reason, ruling alone, is a force confining; and passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction.

If you reveal your secrets to the wind, you should not blame the wind for revealing them to the trees.

Love... it surrounds every being and extends slowly to embrace all that shall be.

When you reach the end of what you should know, you will be at the beginning of what you should sense.

The optimist sees the rose and not its thorns; the pessimist stares at the thorns, oblivious to the rose.

Do not fear the thorns in your path, for they draw only corrupt blood.

For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun? And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.

Say not, 'I have found the truth,' but rather, 'I have found a truth.'
