It is a very high stage in the path of love when man really learns to love another with a love that asks no return.

Love manifests towards those whom we like as love; towards those whom we do not like as forgiveness.

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.

What a great thing is understanding! It is priceless. No man can give greater pleasure to his fellow man than by understanding him.

The wonderful thing is that the soul already knows to some extent that there is something behind the veil, the veil of perplexity, that there is something to be sought for in the highest spheres of life, that there is some beauty to be seen, that there is Someone to be known who is knowable.

Every passion, every emotion, has its effect upon the mind. Every change of mind, however slight, has its effect upon the body.

The words that enlighten the soul are more precious than jewels.
