Desire is half of life, indifference is half of death.

When you are sorrowful, look again.

For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one.

Prayer is the song of the heart. It reaches the ear of God even if it is mingled with the cry and the tumult of a thousand men.

And you receivers - and you are all receivers - assume no weight of gratitude, lest you lay a yoke upon yourself and upon him who gives. Rather rise together with the giver on his gifts as on wings; For to be overmindful of your debt, is to doubt his generosity who has the free hearted earth for mother, and God for father.

Knowledge cultivates your seeds and does not sow in your seeds.

Your friend is your field which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving.
