You work that you may keep peace with the earth and the soul of the earth.

Zeal is a volcano, the peak of which the grass of indecisiveness does not grow.

I wash my hands of those who imagine chattering to be knowledge, silence to be ignorance, and affection to be art.

Like the seeds dreaming beneath the snow your heart dreams of spring.

The most solid stone in the structure is the lowest one in the foundation.

Let your best be for your friend.

There is no secret in the mystery of life stronger and more beautiful than that attachment which converts the silence of a virgin's spirit into a perpetual awareness that makes a person forget the past, for it kindles fiercely in the heart the sweet and overwhelming hope of the coming future.
