Cover me with soft earth, and let each handful be mixed With seeds ofjasmine, lilies, and myrtle; and when they Grow above me and thrive on my body's element they will Breathe the fragrance of my heart into space.

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

Keep your heart in wonder at the daily miracles of your life.

Your soul is oftentimes a battlefield, upon your reason and your judgment wage war against your passion and your appetite.

Learn the words of wisdom uttered by the wise and apply them in your own life. Live them - but do not a make a show of reciting them, for he who repeats what he does not understand is no better than an ass loaded with books.

Darkness is dawn not yet born.

When the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.
