“The grass seeks her crowd in the earth. The tree seeks his solitude of the sky.”

The fish in the water is silent, the animal on the earth is noisy, the bird in the air is singing. But man has in him the silence of the sea, the noise of the earth and the music of the air.

The one who plants trees, knowing that he will never sit in their shade, has at least started to understand the meaning of life.

The flower which is single need not envy the thorns that are numerous.

Death is not extinguishing the light; it is only putting out the lamp because the dawn has come.

Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers, but to be fearless in facing them. Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain, but for the heart to conquer it.

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

Rest belongs to the work as the eyelids to the eyes.
