He who repeats what he does not understand is no better than an ass that is loaded with books.

Love is the gentle smile upon the lips of beauty.

Some think I wink at them when I shut my eyes to avoid their sight.

Hallow the body as a temple to comeliness and sanctify the heart as a sacrifice to love; love recompenses the adorers.

Should we all confess our sins to one another we would all laugh at one another for our lack of originality

And if you would know God, be not therefore a solver of riddles. Rather look about you and you shall see Him playing with your children.

Youth is a beautiful dream, on whose brightness books shed a blinding dust. Will ever the day come when the wise link the joy of knowledge to youth's dream? Will ever the day come when Nature becomes the teacher of man, humanity his book and life his school? Youth's joyous purpose cannot be fulfilled until that day comes. Too slow is our march toward spiritual elevation, because we make so little use of youth's ardor.
