relationship spiritual inspirational-love
The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them.
gratitude grace moments
Every breath we draw is a gift of God's love; every moment of existence is a grace.
doors knowing way
Actions are the doors and windows of being. Unless we act, we have no way of knowing what we are.
silence cease objects
In Silence God ceases to be an object and becomes an experience.
humble men people
What I loved in the man was his health, his unity with himself; all people and all things seemed to find their quite peaceable adjustment with him, not a proud domineering one, as after doubtful contest, but a spontaneous-looking peaceable, even humble one.
eye talent reverence
The true eye for talent presupposes the true reverence for it.
men silence duty
Silence is the eternal duty of man.
thinking stupidity world
In our wide world there is but one altogether fatal personage, the dunce,--he that speaks irrationally, that sees not, and yet thinks he sees.
stars eye men
When I gaze into the stars, they look down upon me with pity from their serene and silent spaces, like eyes glistening with tears over the little lot of man. Thousands of generations, all as noisy as our own, have been swallowed up by time, and there remains no record of them any more. Yet Arcturus and Orion, Sirius and Pleiades, are still shining in their courses, clear and young, as when the shepherd first noted them in the plain of Shinar!
silence spheres melody
The nobleness of silence. The highest melody dwells only in silence,--the sphere melody, the melody of health.
art nature years
Thou fool! Nature alone is antique, and the oldest art a mushroom; that idle crag thou sittest on is six thousand years of age.
creation understood
Creation is great, and cannot be understood.
mother opportunity age
A word spoken in season, at the right moment; is the mother of ages.
wise mean eye
We are to take no counsel with flesh and blood; give ear to no vain cavils, vain sorrows and wishes; to know that we know nothing, that the worst and cruelest to our eyes is not what it seems, that we have to receive whatsoever befalls us as sent from God above, and say, "It is good and wise,--God is great! Though He slay me, yet I trust in Him." Islam means, in its way, denial of self. This is yet the highest wisdom that heaven has revealed to our earth.
