Our anxiety does not come from thinking about the future, but from wanting to control it.

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

The veil that clouds your eyes shall be lifted by the hands that wove it.

Yea, death and prison we mete out To small offenders of the laws, While honor, wealth, and full respect On greater pirates we bestow. To steal a flower we call mean. To rob a field is chivalry; Who kills the body he must die, Who kills the spirit he goes free.

If your knowledge teaches you not the value of things, and frees you not from the bondage to matter, you shall never come near the throne of Truth.

Work is love made visible. And if you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy. For if you bake bread with indifference, you bake a bitter bread that feeds but half man's hunger. And if you grudge the crushing of the grapes, your grudge distils a poison in the wine. And if you sing though as angels, and love not the singing, you muffle man's ears to the voices of the day and the voices of the night.

Money is like love; it kills slowly and painfully the one who withholds it, and enlivens the other who turns it on his fellow man.
