The longing for paradise is paradise itself.

And let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit. For love that seeks aught but the disclosure of its own mystery is not love but a net cast forth: and only the unprofitable is caught.

Love is trembling happiness.

If you are poor, shun association with him who measures men with the yardstick of riches.

I AM IGNORANT of absolute truth. But I am humble before my ignorance and therein lies my honor and my reward.

It is wrong to think that love comes from long companionship and persevering courtship. Love is the offspring of spiritual affinity and unless that affinity is created in a moment, it will not be created for years or even generations.

You are far, far greater than you know - and all is well.
