My Soul gave me good counsel, teaching me never to delight in praise or to be distressed by reproach. Before my Soul taught me, I doubted the value of my accomplishments until the passing days sent someone who would extol or disparage them. But now I know that trees blossom in the spring and give their fruits in the summer without any desire for accolades. And they scatter their leaves abroad in the fall and denude themselves in the winter without fear of reproof.

I am one of those who believe that spiritual progress is a rule of human life, but the approach to perfection is slow and painful. If a woman elevates herself in one respect and is retarded in another, it is because the rough trail that leads to the mountain peak is not free of ambushes of thieves and lairs of wolves.

The obvious is that which is never seen until someone expresses it simply.

In one drop of water are found all the secrets of all the oceans; in one aspect of You are found all the aspects of existence.

Love is trembling happiness.

He who has not looked on Sorrow will never see Joy.

Humanity is a river of light running from the ex-eternity to eternity.
