Languages are jealous sovereigns, and passports are rarely allowed for travellers to cross their strictly guarded borders.

He it is, the innermost one, who awakens my being with his deep hidden touches. He it is who puts his enchantment upon these eyes and joyfully plays on the chords of my heart in varied cadence of pleasure and pain.

Whether joy or sorrow, pain or pleasure; whatsoever may befall thee, accept it serenely with an unvanquished heart.

It's far better to make people angry than to make them ashamed.
