A friend who is far away is sometimes much nearer than one who is at hand. Is not the mountain far more awe-inspiring and more clearly visible to one passing through the valley than to those who inhabit the mountain?
A little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely more than much knowledge that is idle.
Advance, and never halt, for advancing is perfection. Advance and do not fear the thorns in the path, for they draw only corrupt blood.
All our words are but crumbs that fall down from the feast of the mind.
All that spirits desire, spirits attain.
And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.
But let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Faith is a knowledge within the heart, beyond the reach of proof.
I have learned silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet, strange, I am ungrateful to those teachers.
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.
If my survival caused another to perish, then death would be sweeter and more beloved.
In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.
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.
Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.
Life without liberty is like a body without spirit.
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.
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.
Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.
What difference is there between us, save a restless dream that follows my soul but fears to come near you?
When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy. When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.
Yesterday is but today's memory, and tomorrow is today's dream.
You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.
Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.
Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.
