The night kissed the fading day With a whisper: "I am death, your mother, From me you will get new birth."

Alas, why are my nights all thus lost? Ah, why do I ever miss his sight whose breath touches my sleep?

Those who in this world have the courage to try and solve in their own lives new problems of life, are the ones who raise society to greatness.

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.

You can't cross a sea by merely staring into the water.

Yes, all my illusions will burn into illumination of joy, and all my desires ripen into fruits of love.

To the guests that must go, bid God's speed and brush away all traces of their steps.
