Despair makes us serve evil as much as good.

although I have no fish, / I do not want any frog; / Or any elderberries either, / Instead of a bunch of grapes: / Although I have no love, / I do not want anything else, / Whether Love is gracious to me or hostile.

Although the season is joyful everywhere, / And mountain and valley are all verdant, / That would seem a truly small matter to him / Who has met mischance in love.

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.

May your service of love a beautiful thing; want nothing else, fear nothing else and let love be free to become what love truly is.

The soul who is most untouched is the most like to God.

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