Real beauty lies in the spiritual accord that is called love which can exist between a man and a woman.

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.

When you reach the heart of life you shall find beauty in all things, even in the eyes that are blind to beauty.

For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning. Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun, so shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth.

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

In friendship let there be laughter and sharing of pleasures.

Hallow the body as a temple to comeliness and sanctify the heart as a sacrifice to love; love recompenses the adorers.
