A root is a flower that disdains fame.

Have you not heard of the man who was digging in the earth for roots and found a treasure?

He who defines his conduct by ethics imprisons his song-bird in a cage.

Tell your secret to the wind, but don't blame it for telling the trees.

And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb.

Truth is like the stars; it does not appear except from behind obscurity of the night. Truth is like all beautiful things in the world; it does not disclose its desirability except to those who first feel the influence of falsehood. Truth is a deep kindness that teaches us to be content in our everyday life and share with the people the same happiness.

The longing for paradise is paradise itself.
