And as a single leaf turns not yellow but with the silent knowledge of the whole tree.

Love is a gracious host to his guests though to the unbidden his house is a mirage and a mockery.

What is fear of need but need itself?

The tiny flame that lights up the human heart is like a blazing torch that comes down from heaven to light up the paths of mankind. For in one soul are contained the hopes and feelings of all Mankind.

You would know the secret of death. But how shall you find it unless you seek it in the heath of life? The owl whose night-bound eyes are blind unto the day cannot unveil the mystery of light.
