You are good when you strive to give of yourself. Yet you are not evil when you seek gain for yourself. For when you strive for gain you are but a root that clings to the earth and sucks at her breast. Surely the fruit cannot say to the root, 'Be like me, ripe and full and ever giving of your abundance.' For to the fruit giving is a need as receiving is a need to the root.

Love that does not renew itself every day becomes a habit and in turn a slavery.

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

You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts; And when you can no longer dwell in the solitude of your heart you live in your lips, and sound is a diversion and a pastime. And in much of your talking, thinking is half murdered.

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.
