Love is not without its flaws. The stronger the love, the more it tests you. Compassion and empathy will make true love persist.

When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight. Some of you say, "Joy is greater than sorrow," and others say, "Nay, sorrow is the greater." But I say unto you, they are inseparable. Together they come, and when one sits alone with you at your board, remember that the other is asleep upon your bed. Verily you are suspended like scales between your sorrow and your joy.

Have you not heard of the man who was digging in the earth for roots and found a treasure?

The feelings we live through in love and in loneliness are simply, for us, what high tide and low tide are to the sea.

You shall be free indeed when your days are not without a care, nor your nights without a want and a grief, but rather when these things girdle your life and yet you rise above them naked and unbound.

An eye for an eye, and the whole world would be blind.

Which of you would be silent - when all else sings together in unison?
