One day you will ask me which is more important? My life or yours? I will say mine and you will walk away not knowing that you are my life.

The optimist sees the rose and not its thorns; the pessimist stares at the thorns, oblivious to the rose.

And is not time even as love is, undivided and paceless? But if in you thought you must measure time into seasons, let each season encircle all the other seasons, And let today embrace the past with remembrance and the future with longing.

Keep me away from the wisdom which does not cry, the philosophy which does not laugh and the greatness which does not bow before children.

Your life is an island separated from all other islands and continents. Regardless of how many boats you send to other shores or how many ships arrive upon your shores, you yourself are an island separated by its own pains, secluded in its happiness

The strong grows in solitude where the weak withers away.

You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.
