“The stars are not afraid to appear like fireflies.”

Love's gift cannot be given, it waits to be accepted.

Bigotry tries to keep truth safe in its hand with a grip that kills it.

The small wisdom is like water in a glass: clear, transparent, pure. The great wisdom is like the water in the sea: dark, mysterious, impenetrable.

Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.

Faith is the bird that feels the light and sings when the dawn is still dark.

Love is an endless mystery, for it has nothing else to explain it.

You can't cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water.

Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers, but to be fearless in facing them.
