All work is empty save when there is love.

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

My Soul gave me good counsel, teaching me to love what the people abhor and to show good will toward the one they hate. It showed me that Love is a property not of the lover but of the beloved. Before my Soul taught me, Love was for me a delicate thread stretched between two adjacent pegs, but now it has been transformed into a halo; its first is its last, and its last is its first. It encompasses every being, slowly expanding to embrace all that ever will be.

He who wears his morality but as his best garment were better naked. The wind and the sun will tear no holes in his skin.

And if you would know God, be not therefore a solver of riddles. Rather look about you and you shall see Him playing with your children.

You are your own forerunner, and the towers you have builded are but the foundation of your giant-self. And that self too shall be a foundation.

I had a second birth when my soul and my body loved one another and were married.
