And is not the lute that soothes your spirit the very wood that was hollowed with knives?

If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. And if they don't, they never were.

You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore. You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days. Ay, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God. But let there be spaces in your togetherness, and let the winds of the heavens dance between you.

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

Men who do not forgive women their little faults will never enjoy their great virtues.

We are all like the bright moon, we still have our darker side.

Your confidence in the people, and your doubt about them, are closely related to your self-confidence and your self-doubt.
