If you are a man of learning, read something classic, a history of the human struggle and don't settle for mediocre verse.

The Heart that is not in love will fail the test.

Bitter your acts, bitter am I, Kindness your deeds, kindness am I, Pleasant and gentle, so you are, Fine honeyed lips and sweet talker.

The way to heaven is within. Shake the wings of love-when love's wings have become strong, there is no need to trouble about a ladder.

My dear heart, never think you are better than others. Listen to their sorrows with compassion. If you want peace, don't harbor bad thoughts, do not gossip and don't teach what you do not know.

When you are everywhere, you are nowhere. When you are somewhere, you are everywhere.

Whoever gives reverence receives reverence.
