If you find the mirror of the heart dull, the rust has not been cleared from its face.

No one looks back and regrets leaving this world. What's regretted is how real we thought it was.

There is some kiss we want with your whole lives, the touch of spirit on the body. Seawater begs the pearl to break its shell. And the lily, how passionately it needs some wild darling.

You dance inside my chest, where no one sees you.

What hurts the soul? To live without tasting the water of its own essence.

Wisdom is like the rain. Its source is unlimited, but it comes down according to the season. Grocers put sugar in a bag, but their supply of sugar is not the amount in the bag. When you come to a grocer, he has sugar in abundance. But he sees how much money you have brought and gives accordingly. Your currency on this Path is resolution and faith, and you are taught according to your resolution and faith. When you come seeking sugar, they examine your bag to see what its capacity is; then they measure out accordingly.

Where the lips are silent the heart has a thousand tongues.
