While God waits for His temple to be built of love, men bring stones.

Love is when the soul starts to sing and the flowers of your life bloom on their own.

At the immortal touch of thy hands my little heart loses its limits in joy and gives birth to utterance ineffable.

If you shut your door to all errors truth will be shut out.

To be constantly changing one's plans isn't decision at all-it's indecision.

Love does not claim possession, but gives freedom.
