Let tenderness pour from your eyes, the way sun gazes warmly on earth.

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

Love sometimes wants to do us a great favor: hold us upside down and shake all the nonsense out.

Speak but little, and that little only when thy own purposes require it. Heaven has given thee two ears but only one tongue, which means: listen to two things, but be not the first to propose one.

I know you have a hundred complex cases against God in court, but never mind, let's just get out of this mess.

I do not feel like writing verses; but as I light my perfume burner with myrrh and jasmine incense, they suddenly burgeon from my heart, like flowers in a garden.

Come in, my dearFrom that harsh worldThat has rained elements of stoneUpon your tender face.Every soulShould receive a toast from usFor bravery!
