“كثيرون هم الذين يتكلمون كالبحر لكن حياتهم فشبيهة بالمستنقعات”

“الاعتقاد شيء و العمل به شيء آخر. كثيرون هم الذين يتكلمون كالبحر أما حياتهم فشبيهة بالمستنقعات. كثيرون هم الذي يرفعون رؤوسهم فوق قمم الجبال أما نفوسهم فتبقى هاجعة في ظلمة الكهوف.”

“Smile, my beloved, like the gold smiles from my father's coffers.”

“And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.”

“And all knowledge is vain save when there is work, and all work is empty save when there is love; and when you work with love you bind yourself to yourself, and to one another, and to God.”

“You shall be free indeed when your days are not without a care, nor your nights without a want and a grief, but rather when these things girdle your life and yet you rise above them naked and unbound.”

“God listens not to your words save when He Himself utters them through your lips.”
