You give but little when you give of your possessions.It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.
You are my brother and I love you. I love you worshipping in your church, kneeling in your temple, and praying in your mosque. You and I and all are children of one religion, for the varied paths of r...
When you work you fulfill a part of earth's furthest dream, assigned to you when that dream was born,And what is it to work with love?It is to weave the cloth with threads drawn from your heart, even...
The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the greatest intention.
Say not, I have found the truth, but rather, I have found a truth.Say not, I have found the path of the soul. Say rather, I have met the soul walking upon my path.For the soul walks upon all paths.The...
A little while, a moment of rest upon the wind, and another woman shall bear me.

Thus with my lips have I denounced you, while my heart, bleeding within me, called you tender names.
Solitude has soft, silky hands, but with strong fingers it grasps the heart and makes it ache with sorrow.

But you who walk facing the sun, what images drawn on the earth can hold you? You who travel with the wind, what weathervane shall direct your course? What man's law shall bind you if you break your y...
