The soul who is most untouched is the most like to God.
I wish to devote all my time / To noble thoughts about great Love.
He who lives in despair / takes and gives in vain.
It is written in the code of love: He who strikes the blow is himself struck down.
For this is love's truth; she joins two in one being, makes sweet sour, strangers neighbors, and the lowly noble.
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.
