If you shed tears when you miss the sun, you also miss the stars.

The mountain remains unmoved at its seeming defeat by the mist.

Compliments win friends, honesty loses them.

When I stand before thee at the day's end, thou shalt see my scars and know that I had my wounds and also my healing.

Not hammer-strokes, but dance of the water, sings the pebbles into perfection.

Love is when the soul starts to sing and the flowers of your life bloom on their own.

The realization of our soul has its moral and its spiritual side. The moral side represents training of unselfishness, control of desire; the spiritual side represents sympathy and love. They should be taken together and never separated. The cultivation of the merely moral side of our nature leads us to the dark region of narrowness and hardness of heart, to the intolerant arrogance of goodness; and the cultivation of the merely spiritual side of our nature leads us to a still darker region of revelry in intemperance of imagination.
