من الغريب أن يكون أحب الناس إلينا أقدرهم على تشويش حياتنا

Generosity is giving more than you can, and pride is taking less than you need.

When you love you should not think you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.

It is wrong to think that love comes from long companionship and persevering courtship. Love is the offspring of spiritual affinity and unless that affinity is created in a moment, it will not be created for years or even generations.

Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself

Ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.
