All you have shall some day be given; therefore give now, that the season of giving may be yours and not your inheritors

And could you keep your heart in wonder at the daily miracles in your life, your pain would not seem less wondrous than your joy.

Love is timeless - death does not separate the lover from the beloved

Oh heart, if one should say to you that the soul perishes like the body, answer that the flower withers, but the seed remains.

For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one

Life without liberty is like a body without spirit

Art is a step from what is obvious and well-known toward what is arcane and concealed

If you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work.

Faith is a knowledge within the heart, beyond the reach of proof

I have lerned silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet, strange, I am ungrateful to those teachers

Yesterday is but today's memory, and tomorrow is today's dream

The most pitiful among men is he who turns his dreams into silver and gold

Love is trembling happiness

Of life's two chief prizes, beauty and truth, I found the first in a loving heart and the second in a laborer's hand

Marriage is the golden ring in a chain whose beginning is a glance and whose ending is Eternity

Sit by me, my beloved, and listen to my heart; smile, for your happiness is a symbol of our future

Love one another but make not a bond of love. Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls

Life without love is like a tree without blossom and fruit
