Love is trembling happiness.

Conscience is a just but weak judge. Weakness leaves it powerless to execute its judgment.

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

Trickery succeeds sometimes, but it always commits suicide.

Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding. It is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self. Therefore, trust the physician and drink his remedy in silence and tranquility.

You often say ; I would give , but only to the deserving, The trees in your orchard say not so , nor the flocks in your pasture. Surely he who is worthy to receive his days and nights is worthy of all else from you. And he who has deserved to drink from the ocean of life deserves to fill his cup from your little stream. See first that youyourself deserve to be a giver , and an insturument of giving. For in truth it is life that gives unto life-while you , who deem yourself a giver , is but a witness.

God has placed in each soul an apostle to lead us upon the illumined path. Yet many seek life from without, unaware that is within them.
