You can’t cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water.
I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy.
It is very simple to be happy, but it is very difficult to be simple.
The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough.
Loves gift cannot be given, it waits to be accepted.
Faith is the bird that feels the light and sings when the dawn is still dark.
I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times, in life after life, in age after age forever.
Reach high, for stars lie hidden in you. Dream deep, for every dream precedes the goal.
