“Prayer is the song of the heart. It reaches the ear of God even if it is mingled with the cry and the tumult of a thousand men.”

Darkness is dawn not yet born.

The universe is my country and the human family is my tribe.

Desire is half of life, indifference is half of death.

And ever has it been known that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.

Tortoises can tell you more about the road than hares.

You may forget with whom you laughed, but you will never forget with whom you wept.

We choose our joys and sorrows long before we experience them.

Keep your heart in wonder at the daily miracles of your life.

Rest in reason. Move in Passion.

How often have you sailed in my dreams. And now you come in my awakening, which is my deeper dream.

Love is the only freedom in the world because it so elevates the spirit that the laws of humanity and the phenomena of nature do not alter its course.

When you love you should not think you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.

If I accept the sunshine and warmth, then I must also accept the thunder and lightning.

All things in this vast universe exist in you, with you, and for you.

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

I do not want you to hear that I love you, but I want you to feel it without me having to say.

I remembered the fox. One runs the risk of crying a bit if one allows oneself to be tamed.

The mirror is my best friend because when I cry it never laughs.

My great hope is to laugh as much as I cry; to get my work done and try to love somebody and have the courage to accept the love in return.

One runs the risk of weeping a little, if one lets himself be tamed.

I believe in the power of laughter and tears as an antidote to hatred and terror.

Take off your bedroom slippers, put on your marching shoes. Shake it off. Stop complaining, stop grumbling, stop crying. We are going to press on. We’ve got work to do.

Remember me and smile, for it’s better to forget than to remember me and cry.

I always like walking in the rain, so no one can see me crying.
