Is not the cup that holds your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter’s oven?

The significance of a man is not in what he attains, but rather what he longs to attain.

A woman whom Providence has provided with beauty of spirit and body is a truth, at the same time both open and secret, which we can understand only by love, and touch only by virtue.

The teacher who is indeed wise does not bid you to enter the house of his wisdom but rather leads you to the threshold of your mind.

When you love you should not think you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.

And as a single leaf turns not yellow but with the silent knowledge of the whole tree.
