Worldly riches are like nuts; many a tooth is broke in cracking them, but never is the stomach filled with eating them.

Proper praying is like a person who wanders through a field gathering flowers-one by one, until they make a beautiful bouquet. In the same manner, a person must gather each letter, each syllable, to form them into words of prayer.

Even if you can't sing well, sing. Sing to yourself. Sing in the privacy of your home. But sing.

Man must not rely on pure reason; he must mix faith with it.

He who cannot accept reproof cannot become great.

Just as your hand, held before the eye, can hide the tallest mountain, so this small earthly life keeps us from seeing the vast radiance that fills the core of the universe.

God forgets those who reject proof that they are wrong.
