And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.
Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror.
We choose our joys and sorrows long before we experience them.

If my survival caused another to perish, then death would be sweeter and more beloved.
Yesterday we obeyed kings and bent our necks before emperors. But today we kneel only to truth, follow only beauty, and obey only love.

Love one another, but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
I love you when you bow in your mosque, kneel in your temple, pray in your church. For you and I are sons of one religion, and it is the spirit.
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.
