Your hearts know in silence the secrets of the days and the nights.

Love is all I can possess and no one can deprive me of it. Kahlil Gibran (Visions of the Prophet)

Generosity is giving more than you can, and pride is taking less than you need.

The strong grows in solitude where the weak withers away.

Women opened the windows of my eyes and the doors of my spirit. Had it not been for the woman-mother, the woman-sister, and the woman-friend, I would have been sleeping among those who seek the tranquility of the world with their snoring.

Marriage is the union of two divinities that a third might be born on earth. It is the union of two souls in a strong love for the abolishment of separateness. It is that higher unity which fuses the separate unities within the two spirits. It is the golden ring in a chain whose beginning is a glance, and whose ending is Eternity. It is the pure rain that falls from an unblemished sky to fructify and bless the fields of divine Nature.

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