If a man loses a dear friend, he looks around and sees many friends come to console and comfort him. If a man loses his wealth, after a little thought he will realize that the delight that came from wealth will be restored by finding more. Thus he forgets his loss and is consoled. But if a man's heart is deprived of peace, where will he find it again, how will he replace it?

Where can I find a man governed by reason instead of habits and urges?

Like the seeds dreaming beneath the snow your heart dreams of spring.

The nearest to my heart are a king without a kingdom and a poor man who does not know how to beg.

The only time a juggler / Appeals to me / Is when I see him / Miss the ball.

Be like a flower and turn your face to the sun.

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.
