“If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. And if they don’t, they never were.”

Love and doubt have never been on speaking terms.

Let your best be for your friend.

Love that does not renew itself every day becomes a habit and in turn a slavery.

Keep me away from the wisdom which does not cry, the philosophy which does not laugh and the greatness which does not bow before children.

Our anxiety does not come from thinking about the future, but from wanting to control it.

A thief is a man in need. A liar is a man in fear.

He who loses his mother loses a pure soul who blesses and guards him constantly.

Perhaps time’s definition of coal is the diamond.

I slept and I dreamed that life is all joy. I woke and I saw that life is all service. I served and I saw that service is joy.

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

Truth is like the stars; it does not appear except from behind obscurity of the night.

The nearest to my heart are a king without a kingdom and a poor man who does not know how to beg.

Passionate love is a quenchless thirst.

Wisdom ceases to be wisdom when it becomes too proud to weep, too grave to laugh, and too selfish to seek other than itself.

When you have solved all the mysteries of life you long for death, for it is but another mystery of life.

A woman whom Providence has provided with beauty of spirit and body is a truth, at the same time both open and secret, which we can understand only by love, and touch only by virtue.

You could not step twice into the same rivers; for other waters are ever flowing on to you.

You need to take a break and celebrate your success no matter how small it may seem.

Never run back to what broke you.

Sometimes you need to take a break from everyone to restore your energy.

Crying for someone you love doesn’t make you a weak person.

Maybe I just expect too much.

Move on – but keep in mind that history repeats itself, unless you choose to break the cycle.

You are insane for everyone until they need you.
