“He who loves others is always loved by them, and he who respects others is always respected by them.”

Only when someone refuses to do certain things will he be capable of doing great things.

The regular path of virtue is to be pursued without any bend, and from no view to emolument.

If you let people follow their feelings, they will be able to do good. This is what is meant by saying that human nature is good.

The path of duty lies in what is near, and men seek for it in what is remote; the work of duty lies in what is easy, and men seek for it in what is difficult.

So I like life and I like righteousness; if I cannot keep the two together, I will let life go and choose righteousness.

He who loves others is constantly loved by them. He who respects others is constantly respected by them.

One who believes all of a book would be better off without books.

The people turn in allegiance to Humanity, as surely as water flows downward or as a wild animal takes cover in the wilderness.

All things are complete within ourselves.

Treat your elders as elders, and extend it to the elders of others; treat your young ones as young ones, and extend it to the young ones of others; then you can turn the whole world in the palm of your hand.

Where it is permissible both to die and not to die, it is an abuse of valour to die.

Sincerity is the way to heaven; to think how to be sincere is the way of man.

The great person never loses a childlike spirit.

He who attends to his greater self becomes a great man, and he who attends to his smaller self becomes a small man.

By exhaustively examining one’s own mind,one may understand his nature. One who understands his own nature understands Heaven.

The tendency of mans nature to good is like the tendency of water to flow downward.

Entangle me, into your talkative eyes. Let me breathe in, your breath often. For I’m tired of floating, in the shallow waters, when I want to get choked.

I am so sorry; you see, I wanted to love you, but I had to be free.

I hope you’re brave enough to let go of a future that was never truly yours, that you never really wanted that was imposed upon you by dreams that were never really your own.

Don’t be afraid to be deeply alone, aloneness creates stillness, stillness creates healing, healing opens up to love, and in that love the concept of being alone dissolve.

I am tired of only being loved in theory.

My darling, how lonely it is to love you.

Your departure is no joke it freaks me out every time you leave for the airport.

I dream of you in constellations.
