And let your best be for your friend. If he must know the ebb of your tide, let him know its flood also. For what is your friend that your should seek with him hours to kill? Seek with him always hours to live. For it is his to fill your need, but not your emptiness. And in the sweetness of friendship, let there be laughter, and the sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.

Love and doubt have never been on speaking terms.

Life is but a sleep disturbed by dreaming, prompted by the will; the saddened soul with sadness hides it's secrets, and the gay, with thrill.

He who understands you is greater kin to you than your own brother. For even your own kindred neither understand you nor know your true worth.

...unless the exchange be in love and kindly justice, it will but lead some to greed and others to hunger.

The earth is like a beautiful bride who needs no manmade jewels to heighten her loveliness.

To understand the heart and mind of a person, look not at what he has already achieved, but at what he aspires to.
