An eye for an eye, and the whole world would be blind.

For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one.

joy and sorrow are inseparable. . . together they come and when one sits alone with you . . remember that the other is asleep upon your bed.

Love and doubt have never been on speaking terms.

A root is a flower that disdains fame.

Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror.

Mother: the most beautiful word on the lips of mankind.

Trust in dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.

To belittle, you have to be little.

Sit by me, my beloved, and listen to my heart; smile, for your happiness is a symbol of our future.

Lovers embrace that which is between them rather than each other.

Love is timeless.... Death does not separate the lover from the beloved.

If you sing of beauty though alone in the heart of the desert you will have an audience.

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

Oh heart, if one should say to you that the soul perishes like the body, answer that the flower withers, but the seed remains.

The just is close to the people's heart, but the merciful is close to the heart of God.
