A voice cannot carry the tongue and the lips that gave it wings.

I love you when you bow in your mosque, kneel in your temple, pray in your church. For you and I are sons of one religion, and it is the spirit.

To belittle, you have to be little.

You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts.

Your soul is oftentimes a battlefield, upon your reason and your judgment wage war against your passion and your appetite.

He who is more mindful of one, loses the love and the faith of both.

As the strings of a lute are apart though they quiver the same music.

Love one another, but make not a bond of love:Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.

And think not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.

You give but little when you give of your possessions.It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.

Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror.But you are eternity and you are the mirror.

A moment of torture feels like an eternity, while an eternity of joy passes in a moment. Perhaps time is naught but an illusion.

The moderns say we must not punish heretics. My only doubt is whether we have the right to punish anybody else.

I am not a book collector, and I am not fussy about particular editions. As long as the words are there I don't mind.

Working with green screen, you really rely on the director in a way that you don't on different types of films.

Meditation is the freeing of ourselves from all mental states and concepts of self.

No matter what you do, no matter how hard you try, you're screwed because it's all fixed and rigged. There is a club and you ain't in it.

Give yourself permission to smile a lot today. In fact, why not make it a habit!

Only when the mind is still, tranquil, not expecting or grasping or resisting a single thing, is it possible to see what is true. It is the truth that liberates, not your effort to be free.

If God gives you a platform where you're influencing others, you need to steward it well.

Works make not the heart good, but a good heart makes the works good.
