Let the splendor of diamond, pearl and ruby vanish? Only let this one teardrop, this Taj Mahal, glisten spotlessly bright on the cheek of time, forever and ever.

My eyes have seen much, but they are not weary. My ears have heard much, but they thirst for more.

Dark clouds become heaven's flowers when kissed by light.

Man is a rough-hewn and woman a finished product.

Music fills the infinite between two souls.

The force of arms only reveals man s weakness.

Let only that little be left of me whereby I may name thee my all. Let only that little be left of my will whereby I may feel thee on every side, and come to thee in everything, and offer to thee my love every moment. Let only that little be left of me whereby I may never hide thee. Let only that little of my fetters be left whereby I am bound with thy will, and thy purpose is carried out in my life--and that is the fetter of thy love.
