Life without liberty is like a body without spirit.

Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit.

Love possesses not nor will it be possessed, for love is sufficient unto love.

Love... it surrounds every being and extends slowly to embrace all that shall be.

If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. And if they don't, they never were.

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.

But let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.

And ever has it been known that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.

Work is love made visible. And if you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy.

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