Your joy can fill you only as deeply as your sorrow has carved you.

Beauty is that which attracts your soul, and that which loves to give and not to receive.

To judge you by your failures is to cast blame upon the seasons for their inconstancy.

The ageless melody, unheard, heals; the healing vision, unseen, leads; the true leaders, immortal, know...

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.

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.

Poverty is a veil that obscures the face of greatness. An appeal is a mask covering the face of tribulation.
