If thou art something bring thy soul and interchange with mine. - Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller.

Sorrow is brief but joy is endless

Love guides the stars towards each other, the world plan endures only through love.

There is no such thing as chance; and what seem to us merest accident springs from the deepest source of destiny.
