Between what is said and not meant, and what is meant and not said, most of love is lost.

He who requires urging to do a noble act will never accomplish it.

The love of a parent for a child is the love that should grow towards separation.

Love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.

There are those who give and know not pain in giving, nor do they seek joy, nor give with mindfulness of virtue; They give as in yonder valley the myrtle breathes its fragrance into space.

You who are strong and swift, see that you do not limp before the lame, deeming it kindness.

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.
