Land of the rising sun

The rose and the thorn, and sorrow and gladness are linked together.

A little and a little, collected together, becomes a great deal; the heap in the barn consists of single grains, and drop and drop make the inundation.

The best loved by God are those that are rich, yet have the humility of the poor, and those that are poor and have the magnanimity of the rich.

The moment I first heard love I gave up my soul, my heart, and my eyes.

I fear God and next to God I mostly fear them that fear him not.

Plant the love of the holy ones within your spirit; don&#39;t give your heart to anything, but the love of those whose hearts are glad.

When I die, I shall soar with angels, and when I die to the angels, what I shall become you cannot imagine.

It may be that the satisfaction I need depends on my going away, so that when I&#39;ve gone and come back, I&#39;ll find it at home.

The garden of love is green without limit and yields many fruits other than sorrow or joy. Love is beyond either condition: without spring, without autumn, it is always fresh.
