Land of the rising sun

Why should I be unhappy? Every parcel of my being is in full bloom.

A man is insensible to the relish of prosperity &#39;til he has tasted adversity.

Love will find its way through all languages on its own.

Water, stories, the body, all the things we do, are mediums that hid and show what&#39;s hidden.

I have learned so much from God that I can no longer call myself a Christian, a Hindu, a Muslim, a Buddhist, a Jew.

I fear God and next to God I mostly fear them that fear him not.

The gifts of lovers to one another are, in respect to love, nothing but forms; yet, they testify to invisible love.

Listen! Clam up your mouth and be silent like an oyster shell, for that tongue of yours is the enemy of the soul, my friend. When the lips are silent, the heart has a hundred tongues.

The best loved by God are those that are rich, yet have the humility of the poor, and those that are poor and have the magnanimity of the rich.
