Love has the power that dispels death; charm that conquers the enemy.

Beauty shall rise with the dawn from the east.

A word I want to see written on my grave: I am alive like you, and I am standing beside you. Close your eyes and look around, you will see me in front of you.

A truly religious man does not embrace a religion; and he who embraces one has no religion.

The optimist sees the rose and not its thorns; the pessimist stares at the thorns, oblivious to the rose.

If I extend an empty hand and in retrieving it and finding it still empty, I feel disappointment, that is foolishness; yet if I extend a hand which is full and yet find no one to receive it, then that is hopelessness.

Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit.
