If, like the prophet Noah, you have patience in the distress of the flood, Calamity turns aside, and the desire of a thousand years comes forth.

Carry your heart through this world like a life-giving sun

Love is simply creation's greatest joy.

The only friends who are free from cares are the goblet of wine and a book. Give me wine...that I may for a time forget the cares of the world.

Stay close to anything that makes you glad you are alive.

Only heart to heart can speak the bliss of mystic knowers.

I rarely let the word NO escape from my mouth, because it is so plain to my soul that God has shouted, Yes! Yes! Yes! To every luminous movement in existence.
