For lack of attention a thousand forms of loveliness elude us every day.

Spiritual achievement costs much, though never as much as it is worth.

The will is what matters---as long as you have that, you are safe.

Love is creative. It does not flow along the easy paths, spending itself in the attractive. It cuts new channels, goes where it is needed.
