Generosity is giving more than you can, and pride is taking less than you need.

You may forget with whom you laughed, but you will never forget with whom you wept.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

Have you not heard of the man who was digging in the earth for roots and found a treasure?

Your house is your larger body. It grows in the sun and sleeps in the stillness of the night; and it is not dreamless. Does not your house dream, and dreaming, leave the city for grove or hilltop?

We wanderers, ever seeking the lonelier way, begin no day where we have ended another, and no sunrise finds us where left by sunset. Even while the earth sleeps we travel. We are the seeds of that tenacious plant, and it is in our ripeness and our fullness of heart that we are given to the wind to be scattered.

When you part from your friend, you grieve not; For that which you love most in him may be clearer in his absence, as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain.
