Progress lies not in enhancing what is, but in advancing toward what will be.
For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one.
Trust in dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.
Yesterday is but today's memory, and tomorrow is today's dream.
Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.
In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.
If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. And if they don't, they never were.
But let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
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.
Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.
I have learned silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet, strange, I am ungrateful to those teachers.
