Braving obstacles and hardships is braver than retreat to tranquility.

Remember, one just man causes the Devil greater affliction than a million blind believers.

I have passed the mountain peak and my soul is soaring in the firmament of Complete and unbounded freedom; I am in comfort, I am in peace.

Oh heart, if one should say to you that the soul perishes like the body, answer that the flower withers, but the seed remains.

Let your best be for your friend.

There is within me a friend who consoles me every time that troubles overwhelm me and misfortunes afflict me. The man who does not feel friendship towards himself is a public enemy, and he who finds no confidant within himself will die of despair. For life streams out of man's inner self and in no way from what surrounds him.
