From the grasses in the field to the stars in the sky, each one is doing just that; and there is such profound peace and surpassing beauty in nature because none of these tries forcibly to transgress its limitations.

Let life be beautiful like summer flowers and death like autumn leaves.

Let not the hours pass by in the dark. Kindle the lamp of love with thy life.

It is no easy task to lead men. But it is easy enough to drive them.

Leave out my name from the gift if it be a burden, but keep my song.

The greed for fruit misses the flower.

We gain freedom when we have paid the full price.
