When you have solved all the mysteries of life you long for death, for it is but another mystery of life.

You may strive to be like them but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.

Marriage is like a temple resting on two pillars. If they come too close to each other the temple will collapse.

Marriage is the union of two divinities that a third might be born on earth. It is the union of two souls in a strong love for the abolishment of separateness. It is that higher unity which fuses the separate unities within the two spirits. It is the golden ring in a chain whose beginning is a glance, and whose ending is Eternity. It is the pure rain that falls from an unblemished sky to fructify and bless the fields of divine Nature.

Remember, one just man causes the Devil greater affliction than a million blind believers.

He who has not looked on Sorrow will never see Joy.

My Soul gave me good counsel, teaching me never to delight in praise or to be distressed by reproach. Before my Soul taught me, I doubted the value of my accomplishments until the passing days sent someone who would extol or disparage them. But now I know that trees blossom in the spring and give their fruits in the summer without any desire for accolades. And they scatter their leaves abroad in the fall and denude themselves in the winter without fear of reproof.
