The fibers of all things have their tension and are strainedlike the strings of an instrument.

Talkingcomes by nature, silence by wisdom.

If you arepatient in a moment of anger, you will escape a hundred days of sorrow.

Laughteris the shortest distance between two people.

Prayer changes things by changing people.

Love is the noblest frailty of the of the mind

The highest pleasure to be got out of freedom, and having nothing to do, is labour

Wisdom loves the children of men, but she prefers those who come through foolishness to wisdom

Livingwith integrity means: not settling for less than what you know you deserve inyour relationships. Asking for what you want and need from others. Speakingyour truth, even though it might create conflict or tension. Behaving in waysthat are in harmony

One ofthe lessons of history is that nothing is often a good thing to do and alwaysa clever thing to say.

Outside noisy, inside empty.

It doesnot do to leave a Dragon out of your calculations, if you live near him.
