Poverty hides itself in thought before it surrenders to purses.

God has bestowed upon you intelligence and knowledge. Do not extinguish the lamp of Divine Grace and do not let the candle of wisdom die out in the darkness of lust and error. For a wise man approaches with his torch to light up the path of mankind.

Every man is two men; one is awake in the darkness, the other asleep in the light.

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.

I slept and I dreamed that life is all joy. I woke and I saw that life is all service. I served and I saw that service is joy.

Love one another, but make not a bond of love.

I purified my lips with sacred fire that I might speak of love, but when I opened my mouth to speak, I found myself mute.
