“How distant I am from people when I am with them, and how close when they are far away.”

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.

Two showers a day and I’m still a thousand more from washing you away.

We broke away from each other like clouds after a storm. But the sun never reappeared for me and I don’t know what to do with all this rain.

May God keep you away from the venom of the cobra, the teeth of the tiger, and the revenge of the Afghans.

Whatever I feel is not a choice, but dwelling on it is, so I stand up and walk and walk and walk a w a y.

Fellow, stand away from my diagram.

I pushed you away like the ocean does to the tides, but we always come back together whether it rains or shines.

Its easier to say love doesn’t come to you rather than explaining why you push it away.

Some go, some stay, but, darling, I wish you never go away.
