“If you have a wounded heart, touch it as little as you would an injured eye. There are only two remedies for the suffering of the soul: hope and patience.”

The most momentous thing in human life is the art of winning the soul to good or evil.

Above the cloud with its shadow is the star with its light. Above all things reverence thyself.

As long as man continues to be the ruthless destroyer of lower living beings he will never know health or peace. For as long as men massacre animals, they will kill each other.

Rest satisfied with doing well, and leave others to talk of you as they please.

The soul of man is divided into three parts, intelligence, reason, and passion. Intelligence and passion are possessed by other animals, but reason by man alone.

Let no one persuade you by word or deed to do or say whatever is not best for you.

As long as men massacre animals, they will kill each other. Indeed, he who sows the seeds of murder and pain cannot reap the joy of love.

Salt is born of the purest parents: the sun and the sea.

Virtue is harmony.

Concern should drive us into action and not into a depression. No man is free who cannot control himself.

A thought is an idea in transit.

Friends share all things.

Above all things, respect yourself.

Friends are as companions on a journey, who ought to aid each other to persevere in the road to a happier life.

Evolution is the Law of Life. Number is the Law of the Universe. Unity is the Law of God.

Declining from the public ways, walk in unfrequented paths.

It’s easier to let a heart wait than make a heartbreak.

I think my all time favourite song would be between ‘Slow Dancing in a Burning Room’ and ‘Dreaming with a Broken Heart’ by John Mayer.

The Law is for the proud and the Gospel for the brokenhearted.

These days my bones are shifting, trembled things. I am more earthquake than anything.

With love, there are so many layers to it that you can write all day about it. It’s not just heartbreak or falling in love; there’s so many different ways to look at it.

Everything I know of love is told in the bruises we left on each other.

I spent a lifetime building shrine to things that can’t love me back. (music, poetry, you)

I don’t know how else to say it. I will love you for the rest of my life.
