Land of the rising sun

An enemy to whom you show kindness becomes your friend, excepting lust, the indulgence of which increases its enmity.

Beauty surrounds us, but usually we need to be walking in a garden to know it.

Don&#39;t be surprised at Fortune&#39;s turns and twists: That wheel has spun a thousand yarns before.

I am neither of the East nor of the West, no boundaries exist within my breast.

If you find the mirror of the heart dull, the rust has not been cleared from its face.

That which is false troubles the heart, but truth brings joyous tranquillity.

Grief can be the garden of compassion. If you keep your heart open through everything, your pain can become your greatest ally in your life&#39;s search for love and wisdom.

The minute I heard my first love story, I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers don&#39;t finally meet somewhere. They&#39;re in each other all along.

Have patience. All things are difficult before they become easy.
