I wash my hands of those who imagine chattering to be knowledge, silence to be ignorance, and affection to be art.
Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit.
Wisdom stands at the turn in the road and calls upon us publicly, but we consider it false and despise its adherents.
For what is it to die, But to stand in the sun and melt into the wind?
Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is his twin brother.
The most pitiful among men is he who turns his dreams into silver and gold.
Coming generations will learn equality from poverty, and love from woes.
Nor shall derision prove powerful against those who listen to humanity or those who follow in the footsteps of divinity, for they shall live forever. Forever.
A root is a flower that disdains fame.
You can muffle the drum, and you can loosen the strings of the lyre, but who shall command the skylark not to sing?
Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.
Generosity is not giving me that which I need more than you do, but it is giving me that which you need more than I do.
Generosity is giving more than you can, and pride is taking less than you need.
You progress not through what has been done, but reaching towards what has yet to be done.
Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair, but manifestations of strength and resolutions.
Perplexity is the beginning of knowledge.
The lust for comfort, that stealthy thing that enters the house a guest and then becomes a host, and then a master.
Money is like love; it kills slowly and painfully the one who withholds it, and enlivens the other who turns it on his fellow man.
When you have solved all the mysteries of life you long for death, for it is but another mystery of life.
Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.
Poetry is a deal of joy and pain and wonder, with a dash of the dictionary.
Life without liberty is like a body without spirit.
Let there be spaces in your togetherness.
Knowledge of the self is the mother of all knowledge. So it is incumbent on me to know my self, to know it completely, to know its minutiae, its characteristics, its subtleties, and its very atoms.
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 the grandfather of the grandfather of Jesus had known what was hidden within him, he would have stood humble and awe-struck before his soul.
Time has been transformed, and we have changed; it has advanced and set us in motion; it has unveiled its face, inspiring us with bewilderment and exhilaration.
Work is love made visible.
