I wish to devote all my time / To noble thoughts about great Love.

Despair makes us serve evil as much as good.

It is written in the code of love: He who strikes the blow is himself struck down.

Love has seven names, / Which, as you know, are appropriate to her; / Chain, light, live coal, and fire - / ... dew, living spring, and hell.

Do good under all circumstances, but with no care for any profit, or any blessedness, or any damnation, or any salvation, or any martyrdom; but all you do or omit should be for the honor of Love.

The new year has begun for us. / Now must God grant us with love / That we may be able so to begin it / That it may be of value for Love.

What use is it for me to force my nature? / For my nature shall always remain / What it is and conquer what belongs to it, / However men may narrow its path.
