Darkness may hide the trees and the flowers from the eyes but it cannot hide love from the soul.
For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning. Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun, so shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth.
True beauty is a ray That springs from the sacred depths of the soul, and illuminates the body, just as life springs from the kernel of a stone and gives colour and scent to a flower.
Of life’s two chief prizes, beauty and truth, I found the first in a loving heart and the second in a laborer’s hand.
Life without liberty is like a body without spirit.
Yesterday we obeyed kings and bent our necks before emperors. But today we kneel only to truth, follow only beauty, and obey only love.
Trust in dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.
And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.
Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is his twin brother.
Faith is a knowledge within the heart, beyond the reach of proof.
A little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely more than much knowledge that is idle.
You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
March on. Do not tarry. To go forward is to move toward perfection. March on, and fear not the thorns, or the sharp stones on life’s path.
When you reach the end of what you should know, you will be at the beginning of what you should sense.
I do not want you to hear that I LOVE you, but I want you to feel it without me having to say.
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.
I existed from all eternity and, behold, I am here; and I shall exist till the end of time, for my being has no end.
I prefer to be a dreamer among the humblest, with visions to be realized, than lord among those without dreams and desires.
The obvious is that which is never seen until someone expresses it simply.
In one drop of water are found all the secrets of all the oceans; in one aspect of You are found all the aspects of existence.
