“By giving yourself to God, You not only receive Himself in exchange, but eternal life as well.”

There is no better means of attainment to the spiritual life Than by continually beginning again.

Those who pray from the heart do not think about the prayer they are saying, but about the God to whom they pray.

God will either shield you from suffering or give you unfailing strength to bear it.

If you would fall into any extreme, let it be on the side of gentleness. The human mind is so constructed that it resists rigor, and yields to softness.

Every moment comes to us pregnant with a command from God, only to pass on and plunge into eternity, there to remain forever what we have made of it.

Nothing is more like a wise man than a fool who holds his tongue.

I have made a pact with my tongue, not to speak when my heart is disturbed.

Truly it is a blessed thing to love on earth as we hope to love in Heaven, and to begin that friendship here which is to endure for ever there.

Those that are drunk in love, shall forever talk to the moon.

Change alone is eternal, perpetual, immortal.

You can take away the pain, but the memories will forever haunt you. Don’t let it devour you, Devour them yourself and stand firm.

I am yours forever until the last starbursts in the sky, the mountains crumble and the world erupts.

Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in eternity. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand and melting like a snowflake.

From the dawn of time to the very last tick of the clock, our purpose has never depended on this world, because it always existed in eternity.

Do you see how the sky holds the stars so softly so that they twinkle till eternity? Sky,”I’ll never let you go”

In the veins of poets flows ink, with which they create words for eternity. When they die a part of their souls will still stay alive in their poetry.
