Deliverance is not for me in renunciation. I feel the embrace of freedom in a thousand bonds of delight.
I am willing to serve my country, but my worship I reserve for Right which is far greater than my country. To worship my country as a god is to bring a curse upon it.
I have spent many days stringing and unstringing my instrument while the song I came to sing remains unsung.
I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times, in life after life, in age after age forever.
If I can't make it through one door, I'll go through another door- or I'll make a door. Something terrific will come no matter how dark the present.
If you cry because the sun has gone out of your life, your tears will prevent you from seeing the stars.
Let me not look for allies in life's battlefield, But to my own strength. Let me not crave in anxious fear to be saved, But for the patience to win my freedom.
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 my thoughts come to you, when I am gone, like the afterglow of sunset at the margin of starry silence.
