We are the sons of Sorrow; we are the poets and the prophets and the musicians.

Sit by me, my beloved, and listen to my heart; smile, for your happiness is a symbol of our future.

How distant I am from people when I am with them, and how close when they are far away.

In friendship let there be laughter and sharing of pleasures.

But you who walk facing the sun, what images drawn on the earth can hold you?

The significance of a man is not in what he attains, but rather what he longs to attain.

In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.
