The stars are not afraid to appear like fireflies.

Truth looks tawdry when she is overdressed.

You smiled and talked to me of nothing and I felt that for this I had been waiting long.

Oh my only friend, my best beloved, the gates are open in my house—do not pass by like a dream.

Mistakes live in the neighbourhood of truth and therefore delude us.

Religion is not a fractional thing that can be doled out in fixed weekly or daily measures as one among various subjects in the school syllabus. It is the truth of our complete being, the consciousness of our personal relationship with the infinite.

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.
