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

Your joy can fill you only as deeply as your sorrow has carved you.

And God said, Love your enemy, & I obeyed Him & loved myself.

Nature reaches out to us with welcoming arms, and bids us enjoy her beauty; but we dread her silence and rush into the crowded cities, there to huddle like sheep fleeing from a ferocious wolf.

When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.

Yesterday is but today’s memory, and tomorrow is today’s dream.

If you sing of beauty though alone in the heart of the desert you will have an audience.

All can hear, but only the sensitive can understand.

All can hear, but only the sensitive can understand.

The giving and receiving of pleasure is a need and an ecstasy.

It takes a minute to have a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

Between what is said and not meant, and what is meant and not said, most of love is lost.

Observe the wonders as they occur around you. Don’t claim them. Feel the artistry moving through and be silent.

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.

To live without Hope is to Cease to live.

Everything ceases to fade Leaving my soul all the pain.

Above all, don’t lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.

I have made a ceaseless effort not to ridicule, not to bewail, not to scorn human actions, but to understand them.

Liberty is meaningless where the right to utter one’s thoughts and opinions has ceased to exist.

All treaties between great states cease to be binding when they come in conflict with the struggle for existence.

The true hypocrite is the one who ceases to perceive his deception, the one who lies with sincerity.

Just try to be the best you can be; never cease trying to be the best you can be. That’s in your power.
