The New Year has come to us. / God be blessed for it.

even if you do the best you can in all things, your human nature must often fall short; so entrust yourself to God's goodness, for his goodness is greater than your failures.

Be fervent in God, and let nothing grieve you, whatever you encounter.

Love has seven names, / Which, as you know, are appropriate to her; / Chain, light, live coal, and fire - / ... dew, living spring, and hell.

May your service of love a beautiful thing; want nothing else, fear nothing else and let love be free to become what love truly is.

Do good under all circumstances, but with no care for any profit, or any blessedness, or any damnation, or any salvation, or any martyrdom; but all you do or omit should be for the honor of Love.

love is that burning fire which devours everything and shall never, never cease in all the endless ages to come.

For this is love's truth; she joins two in one being, makes sweet sour, strangers neighbors, and the lowly noble.

Take care, you who wish / to deal with names / for love. Behind their sweetness / and wrath, nothing endures. / Nothing but wounds and kisses.

I wish to devote all my time / To noble thoughts about great Love.

The soul who is most untouched is the most like to God.

Sometimes things happen to people and they're not equipped to deal with them.

Vengeance is sweet. Vengeance taken when the vengee isn't sure who the venger is, is sweeter still.

I appreciate my music is famous, but I'd rather my face wasn't so that I can just live a normal life.

I travel pretty frequently, but a few things that are routine are going for a run, getting my green tea in the morning, and checking email... well, all the time!

The devil has no power ... except in the dark.

I stand before you a weekend version of your reflection begging for direction, for my soul needs resurrection.

Beyond mind, beyond time, beyond space there is immortal awareness.

Good and quickly seldom meet.

I'm sorry for the ducks; I love foie gras.

The windfall of great riches can, if mismanaged, make things worse, not better, for the recipients.
