“Energy is eternal delight.”

When nations grow old the Arts grow cold And commerce settles on every tree

He who desires, but acts not, breeds pestilence.

A truth that’s told with bad intent beats all the lies you can invent.

And Priests in black gowns, were walking their rounds, And binding with briars, my joys & desires.

The tigers of wrath are wiser than the horses of instruction.

Never seek to tell thy love; Love that never told can be. For the gentle wind does move silently invisibly.

Sooner strangle an infant in its cradle than nurse unacted desires.

Prisons are built with stones of Law, Brothels with bricks of Religion

Those who restrain desire do so because theirs is weak enough to be restrained.

The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom. You never know what is enough until you know what is more than enough.

He whose face gives no light, shall never become a star.

I myself do nothing. The Holy Spirit accomplishes all through me.

The weak in courage is strong in cunning.

The busy bee has no time for sorrow.

For I dance And drink and sing, Till some blind hand Shall brush my wing.

For all eternity, I forgive you and you forgive me.

What we have once enjoyed deeply we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us.

Men who do not forgive women their little faults will never enjoy their great virtues.

As age comes on, one source of enjoyment after another is closed, but nature’s sources never fail.

I’m coming to this world not to work. I want to come to this world to enjoy my life. I don’t want to die in my office. I want to die on the beaches.

There are the people who really, really enjoy being celebrities, and then there are the people who came by it maybe by accident.

I promise myself that I will enjoy every minute of the day that is given me to live.

Silence is something that comes from your heart, not from outside. Silence doesn’t mean not talking and not doing things; it means that you are not disturbed inside. If you’re truly silent, then no matter what situation you find yourself in you can enjoy the silence.

Our enjoyment of the great works of literature depends more upon the depth of our sympathy than upon our understanding.
