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.

The truly just is he who feels half guilty of your misdeeds.

The bird has an honor that man does not have. Man lives in the traps of his abdicated laws and traditions; but the birds live according to the natural law of God who causes the earth to turn around the sun.

Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself.

For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun? And what is it to cease breathing but to free the breath from its restless tides, that it may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered? Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing. And when you have reached the mountaintop,then you shall begin to climb. And when the earth shal claim your limbs,then shall you truly dance.

Oh heart, if one should say to you that the soul perishes like the body, answer that the flower withers, but the seed remains.

The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.
