“Love descends upon our souls by the will of God and not by the demand or the plea of the individual.”

“For the soul walks upon all paths.”

“Your soul is oftentimes a battlefield, upon your reason and your judgment wage war against your passion and your appetite.”

“Theban who acquires his wealth by inheritance builds his mansion with the weak poor's money. The clergyman erects his temple upon the graves and bones of the devoted worshippers. The prince grasps the fellah's arms while the priest empties his pocket; the ruler looks upon the sobs of the fields with frowning face, and the bishop consoles them with his smile, and between the frown of the tiger and the smile of the wolf the flock is perished; the ruler claims himself as king if the law, and the priest as the representative if god, and between these two, the bodies are destroyed and the souls wither into nothing.”

“You have walked among us a spirit, and your shadow has been a light upon our faces.”

“Love one another, but make not a bond of love:Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.”

“When you love you should not say, “God is in my heart,” but rather, “I am in the heart of God.”
