Don't Allow Your Animal Nature To Rule

By God, When You See Your Beauty You Will Be The Idol Of Yourself.

Do Thou Smile Like The Rose At Loss And Gain; For The Rose, Though Its Petals Be Torn Asunder, Still Smiles On, And It Is Never Cast Down.

Feeling Lonely And Ignoble Indicates That You Haven't Been Patient.

If I Hold You With My Emotions, You'll Become A Wished-for Companion.

Botha Swimmer And A Drowned Man Are In The Water; The Latter Is Borne By The Water And Controlled By It, While The Swimmer Is Borne Along By His Own Power And Of His Own Volition. Every Movement Made By The Drowned Man - Indeed, Every Act And Word That Issue From Him - Comes From The Water, Not From Him... The Saints Are Like This. They Have Died Before Death.
