The loudest preacher in the world is your conscience, the cleverest is wisdom, the rowdiest is passion, the surest is truth, the purest is love, and the highest is God.

Be selfless like a burning candle; giving of yourself to others even if it consumes you.

Don’t waste time watering a weed hoping to transform it into a flower.

You are a gift to the universe, but a package is only valuable if it allows itself to be unwrapped.

Ignorance is your opponent, fear is your enemy, vice is your adversary, virtue is your friend, and wisdom is your helper.

Don’t let people draw you into their darkness; pull them into your light.

Plucking a rose only proves you desire it, but nurturing it proves you love it.

To help yourself, help others; to help others, help yourself.

If you want to know how good a tree is, examine how many birds flock to feed off of its fruit.
