There are those who give with joy, and that joy is their reward. And there are those who give with pain, and that pain is their baptism. And there are those who give and know not pain in giving, nor do they seek joy, nor give with mindfulness of virtue; They give as in yonder valley the myrtle breathes its fragrance into space. Through the hands of such as these God speaks, and from behind their eyes he smiles upon the earth.

I slept and I dreamed that life is all joy. I woke and I saw that life is all service. I served and I saw that service is joy.

Who can separate his faith from his actions, or his belief from his occupations?

Seek not the depths of your knowledge with staff or sounding line. For self is a sea boundless and measureless.

Tortoises can tell you more about the road than hares.

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

A thief is a man in need. A liar is a man in fear.
