Joy and sorrow are the light and shade of life; without light and shade no picture is clear.

By love, harmony and beauty you must turn the whole of life into a single vision of divine glory.

The voice is not only indicative of man's character, but it is the expression of his spirit. Other sounds can be louder than the voice, but no sound can be more living.

Consciously or unconsciously, every being is capable of healing himself or others.

Among all the valuable things of this world, the word is the most precious. For in the word one can find a light which gems and jewels do not possess; a word may contain so much life that it can heal the wounds of the heart. Therefore, poetry in which the soul is expressed is as living as a human being. The greatest reward that God bestows on man is eloquence and poetry. This is not an exaggeration, for it is the gift of the poet that culminates, in time, with the gift of prophecy.

Love is the merchandise which all the world demands; if you store it in your heart, every soul will become your customer.

God breaks the heart again and again and again until it stays open.
