Fasting is the first principle of medicine.

You know the value of every article of merchandise, but if you don't know the value of your own soul, it's all foolishness.

What in your life is calling you, When all the noise is silenced, The meetings adjourned... The lists laid aside, And the Wild Iris blooms By itself In the dark forest... What still pulls on your soul?

We owe thankfulness to God, not sour faces.

The heart has its own language. The heart knows a hundred thousand ways to speak.

Discard yourself and thereby regain yourself. Spread the trap of humility and ensnare love.

Come, come, whoever you are. Wanderer, worshiper, lover of leaving. It doesn't matter. Ours is not a caravan of despair. Come, even if you have broken your vows a thousand times. Come, yet again, come, come.
