When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight. Some of you say, "Joy is greater than sorrow," and others say, "Nay, sorrow is the greater." But I say unto you, they are inseparable. Together they come, and when one sits alone with you at your board, remember that the other is asleep upon your bed. Verily you are suspended like scales between your sorrow and your joy.

Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself, but if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires.

You may give them your love, but not your thoughts. For they have their own thoughts.

God has created several doors which open onto truth. He opens them to all those who knock on them with the hand of faith.

When you part from your friend, you grieve not; For that which you love most in him may be clearer in his absence, as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain.

How narrow is the vision that exalts the busyness of the ant above the singing of the grasshopper.
