“Come let us be friends for once. Let us make life easy on us. Let us be loved ones and lovers. The earth shall be left to no one.”

Whatever separates you from the Truth, throw it away, it will vanish anyhow.

Too many words are lit for a beast of burden.

If I told you about a land of love…would you swallow it as a remedy?

I am the drop that contains the ocean.

I tried to make sense of the Four Books, until love arrived, and it all became a single syllable.

The earth shall be left to no one.

My heart is the throne of the Beloved, the Beloved the heart’s destiny: Whoever breaks another’s heart will find no homecoming in this world or any other.

Thought is an errand boy, fear a mine of worries.

A heart makes a good home for the friend.

To love the world is to be afflicted.

The sea is everything. It covers seven tenths of the terrestrial globe. Its breath is pure and healthy. It is an immense desert, where man is never lonely, for he feels life stirring on all sides.

The phone company handles 84 billion calls a year-everything from kings, queens, and presidents to the scum of the earth.

The most powerful people on earth are focus groups.

We were placed on earth to fulfill a purpose, and that purpose is what gives meaning to our lives, you were sent to the world to make an impact and make a difference.

Let me enjoy the earth no less because the all-enacting light that fashioned forth its loveliness had other aims than my delight.
