“Before we set our hearts too much upon anything, let us examine how happy those are who already possess it. ”
“Letting go gives us freedom, and freedom is the only condition for happiness. If, in our heart, we still cling to anything - anger, anxiety, or possessions - we cannot be free.”
“That's how it is sometimes when we plunge into the depths of our lives. No one can accompany us, not even those who would give up their hearts for our happiness.”
“Simi? What was it you told me once about families?We have three kinds of family. Those we are born to, those who are born to us, and those we let into our hearts.”
“. . . the number of prayers we say may contribute to our happiness, but the number of prayers we answer may be of greater importance. Let us open our eyes and see the heavy hearts, notice the loneliness and despair; let us feel the silent prayers of others around us; and let us be an instrument in the hands of the Lord to answer those prayers.”
“Before we love with our heart, we already love with our imagination. ”
