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.

Let your home be you mast and not your anchor.

Love is the only freedom in the world because it so elevates the spirit that the laws of humanity and the phenomena of nature do not alter its course.

Life is the mistress to be wooed.

To love life through our labor is to be intimate with life's inmost secrets.

God made Truth with many doors to welcome every believer who knocks on them.

How beautiful to find a heart that loves you, without asking you for anything, but to be okay.
