“How beautiful to find a heart that loves you, without asking you for anything, but to be okay.”

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.

Mother: the most beautiful word on the lips of mankind.

If your heart is a volcano, how shall you expect flowers to bloom?

Darkness is dawn not yet born.

The universe is my country and the human family is my tribe.

Desire is half of life, indifference is half of death.

And ever has it been known that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.

Tortoises can tell you more about the road than hares.

You may forget with whom you laughed, but you will never forget with whom you wept.

Truth is most beautiful undraped.

There is no sunrise as beautiful as the one where you realize you are worth a million suns.

You flowed into me so delicately, like a beautiful twist of fate. I inspired you as you moved me in an alluring turn of phrase.

Travel isn’t always pretty. It isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that’s okay. The journey changes you; it should change you.

Dreams may be forgotten but the beauty and the remnants of emotion felt will always remain remarkable.

You are as beautiful as a blooming flower.

Broken pieces of glass and faded blue skies have taught me that even the slightest of color and fragile things will always remain beautiful if you look at it that way.

Few things are more beautiful to me than a bunch of thuggish, heavily tattooed line cooks moving around each other like ballerinas on a busy Saturday night.
